Manual Warrant (MW)

A Manual Warrant (MW) document records manually written checks or warrants in the system. It allows you to reference prior documents (requisition, purchase order, or payment voucher documents) and record checks or warrants issued by external systems such as your payroll system.

All MW document IDs, including MW payroll interfaced from the Treasury system, local field offices and central office must start with the same Bank Account Code that is to be coded on the MW header, followed by '00', followed by the 7-digit warrant number.

Ensure that an ADNT entry with Bank Account Code as the prifix 'WT' is set up for each MW bank account.
