Tips on Purpose selection:
- When you first enter the Page, on the CP and Block(s)
- Purpose will default to 'N-NEW', if there is No FTA Generated Date
- Purpose will default to 'A-AMEND', if an FTA Generated Date exists
- If it applies, you can select the Purpose based on the CP and Block(s) scenarios
- See Screen Shot Example Below: We generated a file to amend CP 418 to amend Block1 and add Block 2. When the file is generated, the FTA Generated date will be filled in. When the file was uploaded to ESF, there was a business rule failure. You fix the issues and then come to the Generation page again. Although the Purpose will default to 'A-Amend' for Block 2 (because FTA Generated is filled in), you can select 'N-New' so that the correct Applicaiton Purpose is written out to the XML
