Common causes for a Payment Reconciliation DOC
Table 3
| Cause | Description |
| Late reporting/Late stim or change of EPED | The system expected a payment on the customer’s regular EPED date. If there has been a change to this date due to late reporting or EPED change during the fortnight, this may create a DOC advising manual investigation is required to ensure correct entitlement. |
| Delivery of a one-off payment | Delivery of a one off payment, such as quarterly Clean Energy Supplement (CES), Carers Supplement (CS), or Telephone Allowance (TAL) may lead to the creation of a DOC indicting a discrepancy equal to this amount. |
| Weekly payments | Weekly payments can cause a DOC to generate because the system expects one full payment, not 2 half payments. |
| Part payment | If the customer is suspended or cancelled part way through an EPED, the system will often generate a DOC because it is expecting a full fortnightly payment, not the part payment that has been delivered. |
| Holiday pay | Early processing of payments due to holiday processing may generate a Payment Reconciliation DOC as the customer is reporting before their EPED has finished. |
| Arrears | Arrears payments may trigger a Payment Reconciliation DOC. |
| Debts | The reduction of a payment due to an overpayment being calculated can often cause a DOC to generate as the system is expecting a full payment. |
| International customers | A DOC may generate when a customer has recently moved into Environment I and there has been a change of EPED due to the payments being delivered every 4 weeks. |
| Reissued/Rejected Payments | Payments rejected for exceeding the system limit are split into multiple smaller payments and may cause a DOC to be generated. |
