1.  Use function MRSC (Maintain Repay/Realloc Signals (Company)) to set the ‘inhibit reallocations and repayments� signal against all Accounting Periods (APs).

2.  Use function RAMA to record or amend the assessment.

3.  At the end you are presented with the following choice of actions regarding any penalties:

  • allowing the automatic issue of penalties
  • proceeding to function PPEN to issue or revise the penalty determination
  • setting the ‘no penalty requiredâ€� indicator
  • you should normally select proceeding to function PPEN to issue or revise the penalty determination

4.  Use function MRSC again to unset the ‘inhibit reallocations and repayments� signal.
