| PublicationDate: 3/9/98 Summary: Tip of the Week - Pell Payment for Windows: Submission Status Report Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) Posted March 9, 1998 To: All EDExpress Users From: CPS Customer Service RE: Tip of the Week - Pell Payment for Windows: Submission Status Report This week's Tip: Using the Submission Status Report in Pell Payment for Windows Feature/Process: In the Pell Payment for Windows software under File/Print is a report called Submission Status. This report will display the EFC, Amount Paid, Remaining Amount to be Paid, and Database/Record Status for each student, as well as total amounts for all students. You can choose "Not Selected" to get a list of those records with modified data not selected to submit to Pell, or "Selected" to get a list of records ready to send to Pell. Why you should use it: You can use the "Selected" option to double-check your amounts before exporting payment data to the Pell processor, and to have a list of those students in the export batch. We recommend writing the batch sequence number and PREQ file name on this report once you have exported for tracking purposes. You can use the "Not Selected" option to locate any "Q" (saved without edits) or "C" (changed information after batching) status records that have not yet been batched. Note: There are some instances where it is appropriate to have a "Not Selected" status. For example, if you zero out a payment record because you received a higher ISIR transaction for the same student which you are now paying on and have reported to Pell, you would not want to send the original, zeroed-out record to Pell (and hence would leave it "not selected"). If you have any questions, please contact CPS Customer Service at 1-800-330-5947, option 4, or via e-mail at CPS@NCS.COM. |
