13. 13 Maintaining Interface Profiles

14. 14 Interface Profiles The Interface Profile stores Agency and external system specific information, including: –Indicators to identify which interface formats are being utilized in the bulkload interface –Information for identifying which of the pre-defined output files will be received as part of the interface and their frequency

15. 15 Interface Profiles FOCAS will develop Agency Interface Profiles –Input / Output preferences will be validated with Agencies Interface Profiles will be completed prior to the start of Agency Bulkload Certification Once Interface Profiles are established, all updates and changes will be made via the Bureau of State Financial Systems (BSFS) Help Desk –Phone call or email to BSFS Help Desk from authorized Agency contact –Testing will be scheduled as needed

16. 16 Maintaining COA Profiles

20. 20 CAS Reports As of 4/1/2011

21. 21 Guiding Principles - CAS Reports as of 4/1/2011 Data from original and follow-up Agency CAS Reporting Questionnaires were combined with data from additional research into report usage in Control –D. This data was analyzed to determine the percentage of Agencies that use each report Reports used by less than 25% of the Agencies will no longer be supported

22. 22 Reporting Terminology Report – Paper report usually distributed in PDF format Masterfile Extract - CAS data files provided to Agencies to synchronize Agency financial management systems with CAS data Data Extract – Data from paper report made available in a format that can imported to spreadsheets or databases IDL (Interface Disposition Listing) – Reports for confirmation of batch processing status

23. 23 Reports Reports generated from the new CAS will display PeopleSoft Chartfields and not Cost Centers Internal and Segregation Sequence numbers will not appear on reports Although some reports are designed to replace an existing report, there will be changes to the layout of the report Similar reports will be combined into a single report –For example, the following reports will be combined into a single report: –JRN010, JRN020, JRN030, JRN040, JRN050, JRNL060, JRNL070, JRNL080

24. 24 Masterfile Extract Outbound File Extracts will contain Cost Center and PeopleSoft based data See Appendix E in the Agency Implementation Guide for more information
