Verification
Partly verified
| Verified by | Microsoft Learn settlement overview; Test3 field label and Fintrial AP parameters page/tab observations; Fintrial MCP read 2026-09-30 |
|---|---|
| Environment | Test3 browser; Fintrial MCP and browser, USMF |
| Note | Test3 exposed the Settlement tab and Automatic settlement switch; no value was copied. Fintrial opened AP parameters at menu item VendParameters and exposed the Settlement tab label, but the tab's content was not verified. Fintrial metadata identifies company-scoped VendorParameters.IsAutomaticSettlement, and a fresh USMF read succeeded without selecting or verifying this value. Display:VendParameters is seeded in the July 2026 catalog deliverables workbook, row 1474. No setting was changed or settlement tested. Live version, underlying table, security, reversibility and desired value remain unverified. |
