CHECK ELIGIBILITY

This module is useful for you, if you would like to learn how to:

• Check the status of a registrant's eligibility to bid on timber sales.

If you are wondering why or when you should check a registrants eligibility, click here.

Follow these steps to check the eligibility of a registrant in BCTS Admin:

1. Ensure you are properly logged onto BCTS Admin.
2. Click the Check Eligibility button on either the Timber Sale Bids screen or the Registrant screen.
3. The Eligibility screen displays.

   You can not edit the information that displays on the Eligibility screen. This is a read-only screen.

   
   

4. You should verify that you have selected the screen for the proper Client by examining the Client Number & Client Name fields.
5. You must verify that no fields on this form have a check-mark present. If a check-mark is present, the registrant is not eligible to be awarded the Timber Sale.
   
   

   Eligibility Check	What does it mean?
   3 or More Active Sales	Checks the number of ACTIVE sales the Registrant is associated with. This field will be checked if the Registrant has been the successful bidder on three or more sales. Tip: There is a button beside this field which you can click to display the Active Sales Display screen. This screen lists the Licences currently held by the registrant.
   License Under Suspension	This field is checked if the registrant is associated with a license that is suspended. This data is set in the FTA SYSTEM. Tip: There is a button beside this field which you can click to display the Suspended License Display screen. This screen lists the suspended licenses for the registrant.
   Is a Category 2, and has No Debarker Chipper	This category indicates if the registrant has a sawmill (category 2) but does not have a Debarker Chipper (DC) or a DC Exemption. If this is true, the registrant is ineligible.
   Registration Expired	If a registrant is passed their expiry date, they are ineligible.
   Registrant is Disqualified	If a registrant has a "Disqualified to Date" and the current date is prior to this date, then the registrant is disqualified and is, therefore, ineligible.
   Registrant is Deactivated	If a registrant has a "Deactivated Date" and the current date is after this date, the registrant is ineligible.
   Registration and Sale Category Do Not Match	If the category of the Timber Sale Screen does not match the category of the Registrant Screen, then the registrant is ineligible. Tip: This check is only performed when the Eligibility screen is accessed from the Timber Sale Bids screen.
   Insufficient Deposit	If the deposit provided by the registrant is less than the deposit required for the Timber Sale, then this field is checked and the registrant is, therefore, ineligible. Tip: This check is only performed when the Eligibility screen is accessed from the Timber Sale Bids screen.





Remember, Eligibility Checks also need to be completed outside of the BCTS Admin System. For example, you need to check with the Ministry of Provincial Revenue to ensure that the registrant does not have any overdue accounts!

6. You can close the Eligibility screen by clicking the X in the top right corner of the window. This will return you to the form you were previously on.

You can see a sample of the screen used to check the eligibility of a registrant by clicking on the computer!

The Check Eligibility Demo will walk you through the steps you need to check the eligibility of a registrant in BCTS Admin. The demo is a movie that you watch! If your computer has sound capabilities, turn your volume on and you will be able to hear the sound that accompanies the movie.
