Configure the Request Ex Gratia Payment Action
Configure a Request Ex Gratia payment action to streamline requests for ex gratia payments. When users click Request Ex Gratia, the action invokes an integration procedure that changes a payment detail status to Ex Gratia Requested. The action also invokes an approval process. For approved requests, a custom setting lets the limit class allow payments to post if they're over the limit.
