Credits and debits must be applied to an organization, such as a department or cost center.  Most companies maintain codes to uniquely identify such organizational units - such as a cost center code, responsibility code (RC), or department ID.  In order for credits and debits to be successfully processed and applied, sufficient organizational information must be present in the credit/debit record.  If it is not present (as determined by the SLMHowToDebitCredit setting), a credit/debit record will simply be ignored by processing until such time as sufficient organizational information is presented.

Each time credits/debits runs, it attempts to update organizational information before processing.  The update proceeds in this order:

1.If an order was placed through the software request portal, the organizational information used to place the order will be used to update the pending debit record.

2.If no software request portal information is available, then the existing non-blank value will be retained and used.

3.If there is no existing value, then the value in the authorized software table will be used.

4.If there is no value in the authorized software table, then the value in the assets table will be used.
