Financial components are processed into financial instruction line items when the Generate Instruction Line Item batch process is run. The financial components for a single benefit case can also be processed into instruction line items as part of generating payments online. Reassessment is always performed before a financial component is processed. This ensures that the primary client is still eligible and that the financial component is still valid. A single financial instruction line item is generated when a once-off financial component is processed. In contrast, a financial instruction line item is generated every time a recurring financial component is processed.
Before processing a financial component into an instruction line item, the system checks for any payment exclusion dates set up for the delivery method. If found, the processed date for the instruction line item will be adjusted accordingly. For example, if the delivery method is cash and the financial component due date is on a payment exclusion date for the cash delivery method, the system will adjust financial instruction line item processed date to a valid processing date.
