When the appointment process is completed, appointment data will be sent to AxOL, from which card account(s) can be created. The SPL included in the JAM appointment will serve as the ceiling (i.e., not to exceed) limit in AxOL. A card can be created with more than one special designation; however, the highest appointment SPL will serve as the SPL ceiling on the card. An OA/OPC or A/OPC may also approve the appointment as a Delegating Appointing Signatory (DAS) if they have been delegated authority.

Specific policies and regulations are associated with each special designation. Details can be found in JAM at the time the appointment is initiated.
