Work continues to prepare Ceres to “interface” with Xerox online EBT. Next task is working with grocers to interface with Xerox
The WIC EBT transaction – How does it work?
Ceres sends Xerox files containing HH food accounts/card numbers, authorized vendors, approved food UPC/PLUs
Xerox sends vendors the approved foods lists When EBT card is swiped, vendor queries Xerox if this
cardholder is eligible for the foods being purchased. If approved, Vendor completes sale and sends transaction record back to Xerox.
Xerox sends transaction record to Ceres. Ceres debits the HH food account, and sends payment
authorization to Xerox, for payment of vendor.

Ceres’ Scheduler uses a pull-down menu for the type of WIC appointment being scheduled.
One list must apply to all DOs
The Scheduler is fully integrated with Household WIC Record
There is room for “notes” in the appointment record.
SCHEDULERAPPOINTMENT TYPES
8/28/2014 10
Ceres will be set up with “default” lengths of time for each appointment type. This default will be set specifically for each DO The default can be overridden; it’s for
convenience only Works just like Outlook – change the time text, or
drag the end-time later in the schedule.
Appointment TYPE must be the same Default Appointment LENGTH can be tailored
to DO, and can be overriden by Ceres User.
