Add New Payment Details (Annuity)

Note:

A new payment record cannot be captured if the current payment is suspended.  The following error message will be displayed:

 

 

To create new payment details, click NEW on the JU4DC Membership Payment Maintain screen.  The JU4DC Payment Details screen will be displayed.

 

Note:
These fields will automatically be populated if the DB CALC update type of the benefit payment process has been used to create the annuitant.  Even though the benefit payment process may not have been completed, it will still be possible to commence the annuity payments, provided that the DB CALC update type of the benefit payment process has been authorised.  This is to allow for the fact that there could be a delay in the payment of the commutation amount (e.g. a delay in obtaining the tax directive), and such delays should not hold up the commencement of the payment of the annuity.
