CC.015.1 Run and Post FA Disbursements (Project Archive)

User Acceptance Test Overview

The Run and Post FA Disbursements to SF processing builds on previous testing.  During testing users will run the authorization process.  This is the first step in the processing.  By running authorization the process is looking to see that all requirements are met to then run disbursements.  Subsequent testing gives users the chance to review student populations that failed the authorization process.   The FLF Review process allows user the opportunity to review the FLF Service Indicators placed in the previous testing.  They will be able to adjust Packaging Variables and awards before running the final authorization and disbursements.  The final test for this sprint is Disbursements which pushes disbursed values to Student Financials where the Group Post will apply the aid to student accounts.
