Warning

Work in Progress: This document is actively being developed and updated. Content may be incomplete or subject to change.

Overview#

The g2p_entitlement_voucher module extends the OpenG2P Entitlement functionality by providing a mechanism to generate and manage vouchers associated with entitlements. This module is particularly useful for social protection programs that utilize vouchers as a means of delivering benefits to beneficiaries.

Features#

  • Voucher Generation: The module enables the generation of vouchers for approved entitlements. This process can be automated to trigger upon entitlement approval or manually initiated by authorized users.

  • Voucher Configuration: Program administrators can define voucher templates and configure various aspects of voucher generation, such as the file format, content, and storage location.

  • Voucher Printing: The module provides a convenient way to print generated vouchers directly from the entitlement record.

  • Integration with Payment Files: Leverages the g2p_payment_files module to facilitate voucher creation using predefined templates and configurations.

  • Encryption Support: Integrates with the g2p_encryption module to allow for the secure encryption of sensitive data within the vouchers.

Dependencies#

  • g2p_encryption: This dependency is used for encrypting sensitive data included in the vouchers.

  • g2p_programs: This module provides the core functionality for managing social protection programs and entitlements, upon which this module builds.

  • g2p_payment_files: This module provides the framework for defining and managing payment file configurations, which are utilized for voucher generation.

Workflow#

  1. Configuration: Program administrators configure voucher generation settings within the Entitlement Manager associated with the program. This includes selecting a voucher file configuration, storage location for generated vouchers, and optional encryption settings.

  2. Entitlement Approval: When an entitlement is approved, the system can automatically generate a voucher based on the predefined configurations.

  3. Voucher Access: Users can access and print the generated voucher directly from the entitlement record.

Benefits#

  • Streamlined Benefit Delivery: Automating voucher generation reduces manual effort and ensures timely delivery of benefits to beneficiaries.

  • Enhanced Security: Integration with encryption capabilities protects sensitive data stored within the vouchers.

  • Improved Accountability: The module maintains a record of generated vouchers, providing an audit trail for tracking and accountability purposes.

  • Flexibility and Customization: Administrators have the flexibility to tailor voucher generation and content according to program-specific requirements.
