Summary: Changing Anticipated Disbursement Dates in 2001-2002 EDExpress
Posted on September 6, 2001
TO: All EDExpress Direct Loan Users

RE: Changing Anticipated Disbursement Dates in 2001-2002 EDExpress
CPS/WAN Technical Support would like to inform you of an issue concerning the entry of Anticipated Disbursement Dates in the Direct Loan module of 2001-2002 EDExpress (Versions 7.1, 7.2 and 7.2.1).
Issue:
2001-2002 EDExpress does not allow you to enter an Anticipated Disbursement Date of 07/01/2002 or later on the Disbursement tab of a loan record. The software returns an error message, "Invalid value-Click "OK" to return to field and see Help (F1) for valid field content."
Note: EDExpress does allow you to enter a Disbursement Date of 07/01/2002 or later in the Disbursement Profile Setup. You can also update the Anticipated Disbursement Date via the Direct Loan External Change process.
Workaround:
If the Anticipated Disbursement Date needs to be changed to a date of 07/01/2002 or later, we advise you to create a new Loan Period Code in the Disbursement Profile Setup. You can then create another loan for the student using the newly created Loan Period Code.
Note: If you choose to create a new loan, you will want to inactivate the existing loan and, if needed, export and transmit the changes to the LOC.
