Converting Existing Authorization Data

Clinics who have used the Authorizations section prior to SYSTOC 7.22 and have existing data need to provide information for a new field called Status. To automate this task as much as possible, we mark existing authorizations with a Status of Active if the date of upgrade to SYSTOC 7.22+ is no more than two weeks since the End Date of the authorization. If there is no End Date, an existing authorization is marked Active if the number of units used is less than Visits (formerly called Units). All authorizations that do not meet either of these two criteria are marked Inactive. This global approach will not, of course, be accurate for all situations, but should reduce the number of authorizations that need to be modified manually after you upgrade to 7.22+.
