    • Manually (By the user)
    • Automatically (by the System), if so defined in the Access Token Definition and in the following cases:
      • On removing an Access Token from an Accounts Receivable
      • On removing an Access Token from a Rewards Participant
      • On Terminating an Accounts Receivable
