Voucher creation (Customer) in VLSC • Watch Steps 1-2:Voucher Life Cycle Videos
5 Facts about Vouchers • A voucher’s lifespan is 180 days from the date of creation in VLSC. • If a Customer’s enrollment expires before the voucher’s expiration date, the voucher is still valid up to it’s own expiration date. • If the enrollment is still active when a voucher expires (the voucher has not been used), the days will return to the enrollment’s available pool of days (Planning Services remaining days). If the enrollment has already expired when the voucher expires, the days are lost. • Assigned Vouchers should be reserved in VVR as soon as possible to ensure that it is not reserved by another partner. (Note that you can change the engagement start and end dates after a voucher is reserved.) • Partners must reserve the voucher, deliver the engagement, and redeem the voucher in VVR prior to the stated expiration date of the voucher.

Global Admins register each PS offering onceat You must have at least one voucher already in REDEEMED status in VVR to register in SAVB for the 1st time. SAVB only displays REDEEMED vouchers. It does not display vouchers that are still in Reserved status in VVR.
