In ACORDS, how do I enter more than one opinion on a case?

  1. On the Manage Events screen, select the Opinion Event and click Edit Event.
  2. Change the Action code from Filed to Withdrawn.
    Result:  The Decided status will be removed and the case will return to the previous case status.  The original opinion information will be kept for historical purposes.
  3. On the Manage Events screen, add a new event (CLASS = Opinion, TYPE = Opinion) and enter the entire new opinion event.
    Result:  Both opinions will display on the Manage Events screen: one with the Action code Withdrawn and one with the Action code Filed.

See sample screen below:
