Helpful Hints: - Correspondence

Ø      Correspondence cannot be logged to Files 18, 26 and 34.

Ø      Correspondence that cannot be associated to a file will be distributed by a manual process bypassing scanning and logging.

Ø      Correspondence pertaining to multiple files must be photocopied before being bar-coded and scanned.  

Ø      Correspondence that is PARTY information only (e.g. change of address) will need to be related to each file that party is associated with.

Ø        Correspondence that is not related to an individual party (e.g. Debtor/Primary Creditor / Creditor / Dependant) cannot be logged into MIMS through incoming correspondence; it must be routed MANUALLY to the appropriate area.

 

Helpful Hints: - Scanning and Work Tasks

Ø      If correspondence is not going to be scanned, then a work task will be generated immediately, unless the ‘Suppress Work Task’ function is checked.

Ø      If correspondence is designated for scanning, then the work task will not be generated until the correspondence is scanned, unless the ‘Suppress Work Task’ function is checked.  If the correspondence doesn’t get scanned within 3 days (preset by MIMS) then a work task will be generated back to document processing team lead/Manager asking where the scanned image is.

 

Helpful Hints: - Viewing Correspondence

Ø      To view correspondence, refer to Screen S67/68/S161 Maintain MEP File – Correspondence Tab.
