CHAPTER 7.

Authorization Screens (500, 501 and 50B)

This chapter discusses the screens used in authorizing Chapter 1606
Award actions. The Chapter 1606 Authorization processed is designed for
use with TIMS processing. Stations not currently using TIMS will have to
make local adjustments in the interim, because the Chapter 1606 system
uses screens (500 and 50B) in lieu of an award print.

The Chapter 1606 (500) Authorization Screen

The 500 screen is the first of (3) BDN screens used to review and
authorize an award or disallowance after it is GAP'd. This screen was
designed to eliminate dedicated print sheets for the imaging system
(TIMS) and functions the same as in Chapter 30. A copy of the screen is
being furnished showing field displays.

# Differences Between Systems

The old Chapter 1606 system did not have a 500 screen. All authorization
was accomplished through the use of the 501 screen.

The 500 screen contains *most* fields found on the 500 screen in the
Chapter 30 system. In addition, there are fields on the Chapter 1606
screen **NOT** found on the Chapter 30 screen, they are:

a.  ELIG STAT (Eligibility Status Field)

b.  BOS/COMPONENT (rather than Branch on Ch 30)

c.  DATE OF ELIG (Basic Date of Eligibility)

d.  6 CR HR DATE (Date 6 Cr. Hr. exclusion was granted)

e.  KICKER RATE (Kicker amount being paid)

# Accessing the 500 Screen

The 500 screen can be accessed for input using the CAUT or CADJ
commands. To access the 500 screen with the CAUT command, the following
entries are required on the READY screen:

> CAUT
>
> Password
>
> File Number

To access the 500 screen with CADJ command, enter 500 or 501 in the NEXT
SCREEN field on the 312 or 411 screens. The 500 screen will also be
displayed under CAUT prior to display of the 501 screen. It can also be
accessed from the 310 screen IF an award has been entered on the 312
screen. It is important to note that accessing the 500 screen during
CADJ will GAP the award. Therefore, you cannot access it if there is no
award data pending.

All the Chapter 1606 MINQ screens can be accessed by entering the screen
number in NEXT SCREEN field. If there is no entry in NEXT SCREEN and the
enter key is hit, the "501" screen will be formatted up, unless the
action requires two signatures, in which case the READY SCREEN is then
formatted with a message. Under the command CAUT, the 500 screen will
format up first. Then by hitting the enter key, the "501" screen will be
formatted up for authorization.

The 500 screen will display the message field from the 312 screen. The
authorizer on the 500 screen has the capability to change the message or
add a message not to exceed the allowable 55 characters. The message
field on the 500 will be displayed if you return to the 500 screen after
going to MINQ processing, so that whatever message shown can be copied
to the imaging system (TIMS). However, the master record will only store
the ORIGINAL message received on the 500 screen from the 312 screen.

# Screen Messages

Below are the messages generated by GAD/GAP processing that can display
on the 500 screen. These are the messages that used to appear on printed
award documents. They are prioritized in the order in which they are
listed. In other words, the first will always display before the second,
etc.

The Chapter 1606 (50B) Authorization Screen

The 50B screen is the second of (3) BDN screens used to review and
authorize an award or disallowance after it is GAP'd. It generates the
overflow of data from the 500 screen. The 50B screen will generate under
the following conditions if:

-   There are more than 5 award lines from the award on the 500 screen

-   An override is used on the award

-   There is kicker data in the award

-   There is mobilization data on the 310 screen

-   EFT data has been entered.

# Differences Between Systems

The old Chapter 1606 system did not have a 50B screen. All authorization
actions were accomplished through the use of the 350 screen.

The 50B screen contains *much* of the same information as that in the
Chapter 30 system, but in a different format. There are fields on the
Chapter 30 system, such as *dependency*, that do not apply to Chapter
1606, so are therefore not on the 50B screen. In addition, there are
fields on the 50B screen in Chapter 1606 **NOT** found on the Chapter 30
screen, they are:

a.  DD/EFT ROUTING

b.  ACCT

c.  TYPE

d.  EFT LTR SUP

e.  KICKER DATE

f.  KICKER STATUS

g.  RATE

h.  KO/R

i.  MOB FROM

j.  MOB TO

k.  DMDC O/R

l.  ELIG DATE

m.  STATUS

n.  REASON

o.  BOS/COMP

p.  O/R

q.  KICKER RATE

# Accessing the 50B Screen

The 50B screen can be accessed for input using the CAUT or CADJ command.
Access for input is automatic following the 500 authorization screen
when one of the above criteria is met.

All the Chapter 1606 MINQ screens can be accessed by entering the screen
number in NEXT SCREEN field. If there is no entry in NEXT SCREEN and the
enter key is hit, the 501 screen will be displayed, unless the action
requires two signatures, in which case the READY SCREEN is then
displayed with a message. Under the command CAUT, the 500 screen will
display first, followed by the 50B (if appropriate). Then by hitting the
enter key, the 501 screen will be displayed for authorization.

After you have reviewed the 50B screen, simply hit ENTER to continue to
the 501 screen for authorization.

The Chapter 1606 (501) Authorization Screen

The 501 screen is the last of (3) BDN screens used to review and
authorize an award or disallowance after it is GAP'd. This screen
*updates* the Master Record database.

# Differences Between Systems

The old Chapter 1606 system did not have a 501 screen. All authorization
actions were accomplished through the use of the 350 screen.

The 501 screen contains the same information as that in the Chapter 30
system.

Access the 501 screen from the Ready screen using the CAUT command or by
entering "501" in the NEXT SCREEN field on the 312 screen. The 500
screen will display first, followed by the 50B (if appropriate). Then by
hitting the enter key, the "501" screen will be displayed for
authorization.

All the Chapter 1606 MINQ screens can be accessed by entering the screen
number in NEXT SCREEN field. If there is no entry in NEXT SCREEN and the
enter key is hit, the "501" screen will be displayed, unless the action
requires two signatures, in which case the READY SCREEN is then
displayed with a message.
