- make a note using IDMS function
‘Record Action’ in the normal way
- summarise your findings and the
recommended course of action
- copy and paste this note onto IDMS
‘Notes/Assets’ tab (date must be entered
manually).
Please note that the copy and paste function is only
available before the note issaved to 'Record Action'.
Set the appropriate next action in the normal way from the
existing options on IDMS function ‘Record Action’;
- include details of the QG checks made
including those to validate the debt/return and either
- confirm that the enforcement action can proceed
or
- explain what and why further action is required
before the case can be considered for enforcement.
