GERF Payment Application : Cheat Sheet / Trouble shooting

The synchronisation of a GERF payment application from the council’s Crisisworks to GERF is only triggered when certain conditions are met, otherwise the application will not be sent.

This is a quick checklist of key things to look at when syncing GERF is not working; for a detailed overview, please refer to this documentation page.

How do I know that it has worked?

The following fields are automatically set and GERF-Application ID will appear as soon as the data is received by the GERF system, so you don't need to contact GERF staff to ask them if they have received it.

Open

The GERF Payment Status and GERF Amount Paid will be updated autmatically when GERF processes the application.
