- Article Type: General
- Product: Voyager
Description:
What information is held in fields GOV_LOCATION, GOV_LOCATION_CODE, GOV_ITEM_TYPE, and GOV_ITEM_TYPE_CODE in CIRCCHARGES_VW?
Resolution:
The GOV_* fields hold data about what *governed* the charge transaction - the location (and location code), item type (and item type code) used to determine loan period etc., for the charge transaction.
Additional Information
The gov_item_type and gov_location fields appear in many tables. Their definitions are always the same:
- The gov_item_type fields are the item’s current type, in other words, the temp item type, if there is one, otherwise the item type.
- The gov_location fields are the item’s temp location, if there is one, otherwise the perm location.
