howto: Create Contacts with blank Person Number


Contact Date (Dy), State Reporting Code, State Program, and Minutes must be defined for each Contact. They are mandatory fields. The program presents messages if the values are not keyed.

Person Number is not a mandatory field. To create a Contact not linked to a Person Number, key the Contact Date (Dy), press Enter, then press F13=Update to save the Contact. The program will switch to Screen 2 on which you must key the mandatory fields.

ONECase Service is not a mandatory field. However, the program can fill the State Reporting Code if it is specified. The program pulls the code from the value stored by the "Maintain Services" procedure (menu 18) If the code value is 'N/A' or 'blank', the contact program fills the SRC for the Contact with 'blanks'.

Client Number is mandatory only if the State Reporting Code requires it. The program presents a message indicating that the required Client ID is not stored in the Person data. Use the 'P' option to access "Work with Data about Persons" through which you can define the EIS and/or SIS ID.
