100% Target Reached

Should a store reach the 100% NMS band target based on the predicted items claimed, the Completed Count displays in green and the two Scheduled Follow Ups - Value amounts display in red. This is to highlight that they have reached the 100% NMS band target and so they are not paid for any more NMS consultations that they carry out.
