Award Status

Maint. Doc Screen Label: Award Status Type

The Award Status maintenance document is used to establish and maintain numeric codes and textual description values which are stored in database tables. This data serves as reference information that is made available for display and selection in various areas of the system, including other e-docs. The award status changes over the award’s life. The award status often indicates when an award will be included in the institution’s financial system. For example, an award may be included immediately in the institution’s financial system if the award needs further research, other actions, is closed, or expired.

Modification Of Existing Values: Existing values can be edited as long as the description is synonmous with the original term. New values can be added. You should not delete existing values.
