| PublicationDate: 7/24/97 Summary: Automatic SSCRs & Institutions with multiple OPE IDs Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) July 24, 1997 To: EDExpress Users From: CPS Customer Service Re: Automatic SSCRs & Institutions with multiple OPE IDs EDExpress users who process SSCR records for multiple OPE IDs need to be aware when exporting automatic SSCR batches that EDExpress uses the default OPE ID from the SSCR setup in EDExpress in the batch header. If the default OPE ID does not match the OPE ID of the records being exported, NSLDS will reject the entire batch. During the export of manual batches, the default OPE ID will be used in the header even if the OPE ID is changed on the export screen. Again, NSLDS will reject if the OPE ID in the header and on the records do not match. Prior to exporting automatic SSCR batches, institutions with multiple OPE IDs should select TOOLS | SETUP | SSCR | SYSTEM to change the default OPE ID so the OPE ID in the batch header will match the OPE ID on the records being exported. Please be sure to enter your entire 8 digit OPE ID. If your institution has already exported an automatic SSCR batch where the OPE ID in the header and the records do not match, select TOOLS | SETUP | SSCR | SYSTEM and change the default OPE ID to match that of the records. Please be sure to enter your entire 8 digit OPE ID. Next, regenerate the batch by selecting FILE | REGENERATE | SSCR. The default file type of "Batch - Auto SSCR" will be displayed. Click on the ellipsis button after the BATCH ID box. Once the file is regenerated, transmit it to NSLDS via Title IV WAN. If you have any questions or need assistance with this process, please contact CPS Customer Service at (800) 330-5947, option 8. |
