A scheduled overnight batch job GTR_APPLY_CC will generate the corresponding set of individual Student Clearance Checks ( applied CCLs) to ensure each individual offer condition is represented on the Clearance Checks tab on the ACD screen. These checks are then individually available to be updated as verified by the PGCE Office at a later stage once appropriate evidence has been approved. This batch job is not efficient as it does not have a processed flag i.e. it will run on all Live CF for that academic year until they become CFU but the numbers are relatively small (200 CF in total so maximum of 50 at any one time in this state).

For further information on SITS:Vision batch processes codes see Appendix 2 of this manual.

Conditions can be manually added at the time of making the offer and verified at the same time if appropriate evidence has been presented. However the overnight batch job will add the remaining conditions defined as part of the Offer code to ensure it is in line with the appropriate OLB code and its required matching set of conditions.
