    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.
