The system will initially define the order in which the expenses should be applied based on rules. This is presented to the caseworker in the list of expenses available for use. When the caseworker selects to use an Expense/Pay-In, the systems assigns an order number to the evidence item. The first evidence item selected for use is assigned an order number of 10, and each subsequent evidence item increases in increments of 10.
Caseworkers can modify the order of use and the amounts of evidence selected by selecting the edit option on the item they wish to modify in the list of Applied Expenses/Applied Pay-Ins. If the caseworker wishes to have one piece of evidence used before another piece of evidence they just set the order number on that evidence item to a number less than the order number of the previous evidence item, the lowest order number is 1.
