# Generate Suspense Business Rule

The GenerateSuspense business rule is used to create a suspense record when a transaction with this attached rule is processed. The rule populates a value in the fixed fields of the AsSuspense table (SuspenseScreen) as well as in the dynamic fields of the AsSuspenseFields and AsSuspenseMultiValueFields table. Examples of these fixed fields are: Policy Number, Effective Date, Amount, Type Code and Status. Some of these fields can be populated based on the configuration defined in this business rule. Suspense records and the accounting to the suspense records can be conditionally created.

Note: This business rule should work in conjunction with the <Suspense> element in the Transaction. If the GenerateSuspense business rule exists and AutoEntry attribute for the <Suspense> element is defined as YES or not defined at all, then the GenerateSuspense business rule should be used. If the <Suspense> element's attribute AutoEntry= "NO" then GenerateSuspense will not be used, even if it exists and the normal validation for AutoEntry= "NO" should be followed.
