Authorisations can be time limit specific meaning that they are valid and can be controlled by entering a start and end date so that they are only valid for a certain length of time. They can also be expired. When an authorisation is expired it removes the committment from the financial account. The history of expired authorisations are shown on the financial account.

NOTE TO CHECK: What happens if an authorisation makes the available balance go negative but actual balance is still positive as transaction is not yet fully processed....???

Example: To enter an authorisation

NOTE: When you now view the Financial Account detail the 'Actual Balance' and 'Available Balance' fields will be different.

Example: To expire an authorisation

1. Select the 'Authorisations' tab for the Financial Account
2. Any authorisations will be displayed at the bottom of the screen
3. If the authorisation is still current the 'Thru Date' field will be blank (NOTE TO CHECK: May not always be true as you can specify a future date for it to expire......!!!)
4. Select the 'Expire' button next to the authorisation to be expired
5. The authorisation is removed from the financial account and the screen is redisplayed with the 'Thru Date' field completed
