Cutoff means closing records at a specified interval so that you can start disposition of these records. Cutoff is used to end the active use of records. The cutoff of records is triggered by the event or the date specified in the disposition schedule. When the cutoff is triggered, the system automatically performs the specified cutoff action and launches the cutoff workflow.
The purpose of the cutoff workflow is to ensure that the Records Manager reviews the entity after the cutoff trigger and approves the cutoff date. The approve step lists entities due for cutoff. The different phases of the disposition schedule start only after approval of the cutoff date.
