Technical Note |
The email field in Claim Detail pulls values from the EmailAddress table. No setup exists for this table. |
Note |
While no specific setup option in the Claims System was meant to directly affect potential fraud, the MoversSuite team strongly recommends separating the ability of a user to create and manage claims from being able to print checks. The MoversSuite Claim process specifically separates these two processes by putting the printing of checks back into the general accounting realm. |
