Processing Federal Financial Aid Applications

Calculating a student's financial need involves determining how much a family can reasonably be expected to contribute toward a student's education. This process begins with the student filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with the Department of Education. The FAFSA is a federally approved need analysis form administered by the Department of Education. Some schools may require other need analysis forms or an institutional aid application. Institutional application processes are described in the chapter Processing Institutional Financial Aid Applications. PeopleSoft Enterprise Financial Aid supports all versions of the FAFSA and Renewal FAFSA. This section discusses:

Understanding Processing Federal Financial Aid Applications

Financial Aid application processing requires coordinating incoming and outgoing data files with the U.S. Department of Education's Central Processing System (CPS). You transmit this data using the Department of Education's Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) communications software, vendor supplied software, or software developed by your own institution. If your institution uses either the College Board's CSSPROFILE application or the Access Group Need Access application, see more information in the chapter, Processing Institutional Financial Aid Applications.

For PeopleSoft Enterprise Financial Aid, a student's application for financial aid begins with the receipt of the student's FAFSA information contained in the ISIR data record sent by the CPS. Once this information is loaded into Financial Aid, the evaluation of a student's financial aid eligibility begins.

You can override assumptions and rejects, add your institution to a student's ISIR, and make ISIR corrections. Financial Aid enables you to exchange data with the Central Processing System, to validate and manage corrections, to view EFC status, and to review comments.

Using Financial Aid Inbound File Load Process for Federal Financial Aid Application Processing

Loading financial aid application information from the ISIR is a two step process. When you receive a download from the CPS, the first step is to run the FA_INBOUND Application Engine process that deposits the entire batch into ISIR staging tables. You then run a separate process, the ISIR Load, to load the files from the ISIR staging tables into the database. The ISIR Load process uses your ISIR data load parameters and process demographic settings. ISIR records that are not loaded are marked as suspended for manual review by the office staff or are automatically discarded based on your institution's data load parameter settings.

When you want to send out ISIR corrections or add institution requests to the CPS, there are also two steps. First, run a process to gather all the data files marked to send. Second, run the FA_OUTBOUND process to select records in the outbound staging tables and generate CPS files ready for transmission. You use the FA_OUTBOUND process after running the ISIR Corrections Export process. With the advent of the FAFSA Application process on the web, provided by the Department of Education, Financial Aid does not support processing of the Initial FAFSA application.

Financial Aid processing consists of inbound processing and outbound processing. Inbound processing refers to ISIR records sent to your institution from the CPS. Outbound processing refers to ISIR correction records and requests to add your institution to the student's ISIR.

Reviewing Financial Aid Application Processes

The main financial aid application processes are listed below. In the Financial Aid Application Processes table, the Process Name is the name of the process that the process scheduler runs. The Direction indicates whether the file is coming in from the CPS or going out to the CPS. The Process Menu Name is the menu path that leads to the run control page for the process. The Description explains what the process does. In several cases, one process performs multiple tasks.

Processing Inbound Files

The FA_INBOUND Application Engine processes files from the CPS. The FA_INBOUND process automatically determines the type of file and loads the file into the inbound staging tables.

Processing inbound files is a two step process. First, the data from the CPS files is loaded into the ISIR EDI staging tables. All records in the CPS file are stored in these tables. Second, the ISIR Load process loads the data from the staging tables into the database. The ISIR data load parameters are used during the ISIR load process and only files meeting the criteria are moved into the database.

The electronic data interchange enables you to load ISIRs from the CPS and to create and send ISIR corrections, and FAFSA signature files to the CPS. This section discusses how to:

Beginning with the 2004–2005 aid year, the FA_INBOUND process generates artificial header and trailer information for the files loaded into the staging tables. The header row contains a batch number assigned to the file that is loaded. The trailer row contains a count of the number of ISIRs in the file. You can view this information in the ISIR Inbound Summary components.

This section discusses how to:

• Understand the FA EC File Inbound Process.

• Understand the ISIR load logic.

• Use ISIR load.

• Review ISIR load processing messages.

• Control ISIR load processing at the batch level.

• Use the report of loaded ISIRs.

• Understand ISIR load behavior.

• Understand ISIR data load parameters.

Pages Used to Process Inbound Files

Understanding the FA EC File Inbound Process

If the system processes a file list, the FA Inbound reads the file and searches for the listed files using the path defined in the file list. Once the system processes the file list, it creates a new file in the same directory as the original file. The new file has the name of the file list with an appended date/time stamp. For example, if LIST1.TXT were processed September 1, at 9 A.M., the new file would be called LIST1.TXT20040901090000.

This new file lists the files that were processed during that run of the FA_INBOUND. If there is a problem with any of the files in the file list, the file lists all files that were successfully processed and the file that errored. The error file is always the last row and has the message “Error not processed.” appended to the file path. You can use the message log to view the specific error reason. If, for example, the system processed LIST1.TXT that contained 5 ISIR files, but there was a problem with the third ISDF05OP.003 file, the LIST1.TXT20040901090000 file would look like the following:

\\JSERVER1\2005\ISDF05OP.001

\\FILESERV\2005\ISDF05OP.002

Error not processed: C:\ISIR\2005\ISDF05OP.003

Note. The remaining two files defined in the file list were NOT processed

You can use the message log to view the files that the system loaded successfully or unsuccessfully. The system displays specific error messages in the log. Use the File/Log Viewer to read these messages.

If there is a problem with a file in the list file, the FA Inbound stops processing. The system loads the files processed before the error into the database. All subsequent files in the file list are not processed. You can quickly determine that all files in a file list were successfully processed by opening the data stamped list file and verifying that the last row in the file does not read, “Error not processed.”

Note. If there is a problem with the load process, the system may still display the run status in the Process Monitor for the FA_INBOUND process as Success.

Review the message log for any errors that occurred and verify the files that were not processed.

The FA_INBOUND process assigns an ISIR TG number to any ISIR files that are loaded into the staging tables. This allows you to selectively process files by TG number during the ISIR load process. This feature affects 2004-2005 and future processing years. If any ISIR files are loaded without a TG Number, you can use the ISIR File review page to assign the TG number. Only those files that contain ISIRs that still require processing need to be updated.

The ISIR File Load Run Control page requires the TG number to select ISIR files to process. Only files with the matching TG number are processed. All others are ignored until the ISIR load is run with the same TG number.

The EDE Technical Reference indicates that 2006 ISIR files may contain a request title record as the first row in the file if schools use queries to request ISIRs from the datamart. A blank first row may be present for schools that do not use queries. The FA Inbound process is modified to skip these rows.

Note. Because the FA Inbound process reads the first position of the ISIR file to determine the type of ISIR, schools that will use the request title functionality at the datamart should not begin their query name with a number. This may cause the request title row to be loaded into the staging tables, but it will not stop the ISIR rows in the file from being loaded nor will this affect the further processing of the ISIRs.

Updates to FA EC File Inbound

Access the FA Inbound page.

Run Option	Select one of the following run options: Single File: The FA Inbound process expects the file listed in the Inbound File field to be one of the supported EDI files. File List: The FA Inbound process expects the file listed in the Inbound File field to be a list of files to be processed. The system defaults to Single File.
ISIR TG Number	Assign the appropriate ISIR TG number for the ISIRs that are loaded. When processing a file list, the system assigns the same TG number to all ISIRs in the list.

The FA_INBOUND process supports the loading of most ISIR file types for the current and following aid year as well as the following additional file types.

Understanding ISIR Load Behavior

This sections describes special ISIR load behavior as of the aid year 2004–2005. This does not cover all aspects of the ISIR Load process.

The following diagram shows how the ISIR load process works.

ISIR Load Parameters

Processing ISIRs intended for more than one school of the same destination

If there are destinations with multiple valid school codes, the load process attempts to identify and assign the owning school code. For example, destination TG51234 receives ISIRs for school codes E01300 and E01301. A student completes the FAFSA and lists both schools as recipients. The electronic destination receives a single ISIR.

The system uses the Multi School Flag field to determine which school codes belong to the same destination. The initiator of the ISIR is also identified. If one of the matching schools initiated the ISIR, then the ISIR is processed for that school. If none of the matching schools initiated the ISIR (if it was initiated by the student or another school) then the following occurs:

1. The system compares the identified school codes to the ISIR Data Load Parms records for the aid year. If there is a single school code match between the ISIR and data load parameters, the system processes the ISIR with the data load parameters of the matching school code.

2. If there is no match, the ISIR errors with a message of 2 – Invalid School Code.

3. If multiple matches of the ISIR Data Load parameter records exist, the system checks for a previously loaded ISIR and uses the owning school code for the most recent loaded ISIR. Otherwise, the ISIR suspends with a suspend reason of S – Unable to Select School Code.

You can reassign the correct federal school code to suspended ISIRs on the ISIR Suspense Management page and then reprocess them.

Processing Multiple Institution Files

The ISIR load process evaluates each ISIR record to determine the appropriate recipient of the file. In most cases, by checking the six school codes listed on the ISIR and the ISIR ETI and Multi School Flag fields, the process is able to determine the correct school code and institution to process the ISIR. There is one condition where the process is unable to do so. Assigning a TG number during the FA EC Inbound process resolves this condition.

This condition occurs when a customer is set up with multiple institutions, where each institution is represented by a separate TG destination number, and where a student completes a FAFSA for schools belonging to separate TG numbers for the same customer.

For example, State University is comprised of two institutions and is set up as follows:

• Institution: SUWEST (TG number: 52222, School code: E52222)

• Institution: SUEAST (TG number: 53333, School code: E53333)

New students often apply for admissions to both schools and submit their FAFSA information to both. As a result, State University receives separate, identical ISIR records for these students (one per TG number). This is because the two institutions represent separate TG numbers, and the multi-school flag fields are not populated. Currently, when the ISIR load is run for one institution, the system processes both ISIRs of these students at the same time, where one file is processed with the incorrect ISIR Data Load parameters and can be loaded to the incorrect institution and owning school code.

By assigning the correct TG number for each ISIR file that is loaded, the condition described above is corrected.

Note. It is the responsibility of the school to assign the correct TG number when loading ISIR files into the staging tables.

Identifying Correction ISIRs not Initiated by the School

The system performs the following evaluation to identify ISIRs corrected by the recipient school. The system checks the ISIR ETI field value and only those records with a value of 0, 2, 4, or 6 are selected. This indicates that the recipient school initiated the correction record, and you can process the ISIR normally. For all other values, an additional check against the ISIR Source of Correction field is performed to determine if the ISIR was initiated by the student, another school, or the CPS.

You can control which of these correction ISIRs are processed with the Suspend Student Initiated and Suspend Other School Initiated load options for corrected ISIRs. You may want to suspend all non-school initiated ISIRs first and then review the fields that were corrected in the 05/06 ISIR Suspense Management, Corrected fields page before determining how to process the record.

Note. Corrected ISIRs initiated by the CPS are treated as other school initiated.

Additional Processing Changes

Because application and correction ISIRs can now be grouped in the same file, running the ISIR load process with only the Applications record type option selected causes the process to ignore any corrected (and system generated) ISIRs in the file. The load status of these skipped records remains unchanged until you use the proper record type option to process these records.

A school-initiated correction is processed with the Suspend on EFC Mismatch load option set. If there is no previously loaded ISIR, the process treats the condition as an application ISIR and follows the application ISIR load parameter settings. This allows initially rejected ISIRs corrected by the school to load as initial application ISIRs.

If you process a student initiated corrected ISIR with the Suspend Student Initiated ISIR load option deactivated, or process a non-school initiated corrected ISIR with the Suspend Other-School Initiated option deactivated, the system treats the ISIR as an application ISIR and follows the application ISIR load parameter settings. The correction ISIR load parameters are ignored.

When NSLDS Post screening transaction ISIRs (system-generated transactions) are processed, the NSLDS information is always loaded.

Any ISIR that has the duplicate SSN indicator set will always suspend. Because this indicates that the social security number on the ISIR has been used by another application, users should evaluate the record before loading the ISIR in the suspense management component.

Managing Suspended ISIRs

All ISIR records are loaded into the ISIR staging tables before moving into the database. These records are never deleted. You can look at and review an entire batch of ISIR records or you can look at an individual student's ISIR processing information.

Once the ISIR file has been loaded from the staging tables to the database, you can view the ISIR data from the ISIR Data Corrections component. This section discusses how to:

• Use ISIR suspense management.

• Manage ISIRs suspended in batch.

• View detailed status information generated by the FAPSAR00 process.

• View information generated by CPS for the ISIR.

• View ISIR reject codes.

Viewing Detailed Status Information Generated by the FAPSAR00 Process

As ISIR files load from the FA Inbound process, you will run the FAPSAR00 process, which executes the ISIR load rules on individual ISIR records in the staging tables. If the record is found in the database, the record is tested for institutional review status, Ed verification completed, and for ISIR compute rejects.

The record is further verified to pass the ISIR routing control criteria. If one of the routing criteria is Failed, the record posts a suspend status and the ISIR routing control criteria that failed posts as the suspend reason. If the ISIR is a correction or system generated file, other load rules are performed.

Access the View ISIR Load Information page.

Suspend Reason	Shows the reason the record was suspended and not loaded into the database. This field remains blank if the record was successfully loaded.

• Review special ISIR correction component behavior.

• Review FAFSA information.

• Correct assumptions and school code information.

• View EFC status and database matches.

Pages Used to Make ISIR Corrections

Reviewing Special ISIR Correction Component Behavior

This section discusses the ISIR correction component.

Making Changes to ISIR Data

The system stores and displays each loaded ISIR in a separate effective-dated row that cannot be modified. Original ISIR data loaded in the ISIR Corrections component have all fields unavailable. To make corrections to the ISIR, you must insert a new effective-dated row in the component. An Add button located at the top of the page is available when an ISIR has not yet been corrected. Click the Add button to insert a new effective-dated row on the page and to make all correctable fields available.

Updating Fields with CPS Assumed Values

When the CPS has assumed the value of a FAFSA question, the field is unavailable and marked with an 'a' at the right of the field value. The field cannot be corrected until you use the appropriate assumptions page to make the field correctable.

Fields Containing Both an Edit Box and Options List Field Objects

The fields in the ISIR Corrections components may be represented by two different field objects. Either an:

• edit box and an option list.

• edit box and options.

The edit box displays the database value for the field. The options list displays the contextual value of the field. When the page opens for the first time, the two values are always synchronized. Changing one or both of the field object values for the same field causes the fields to synchronize when you click the save or refresh button.

For example, when you select the options list value, the system changes the edit box value to match when the page is saved, or when you click the refresh button. Likewise, when you change the edit box value, the system sets the matching options list value when the page is saved, or when you click the refresh button. Changing both the edit box value and the options list value at the same time causes the edit box value to be set when you save the page, or when you click the refresh button.

For the 2003 and future aid years, the ISIR Data Corrections component will no longer display fields in this manner.

Numeric Fields That Support a Blank, Non-Zero Value

Beginning with the 2003 aid year, modifications were made to several number fields on the ISIR Data Corrections component to support a blank, non-zero value so that the INAS calculation can be used to determine a usable value for the field. These fields are as follows: AGI (student and parent), U.S. Taxes Paid (student and parent), Total from Worksheet A (student and parent), total from worksheet B (student and parent), Cash and savings (student and parent), Investment Net Worth (student and parent), student's Income, Spouse's Income, Father's Income, and Mother's Income. These values also appear blank if reported blank on the ISIR rather than appear as zero.

Reviewing FAFSA Information

Access the FAFSA Information page.

Note. If you open a component where the ISIR has not yet been corrected, an Add (+) button is available on the page. Click this button to insert a new row to make corrections.

The system displays the student's name, ID, Aid Year, Institution, Effective Date, Transaction Nbr, Correction Status, Status Date, EFC Status (expected family contribution status), Primary EFC, and Prorated EFC.

Actual Bio/Demo Data

This column displays the student's information stored in the Campus Community bio-demographic records. Comparing this information with the student's ISIR information in the ISIR bio/demo data column will alert you to differences in the database. To change information displayed in this column with the ISIR reported information, you must use the Campus Community bio/demographic data components.

Select the check box for Correct Name, Correct Address, Correct SSN (Social Security Number), Correct Birthdate, Correct Telephone, Correct Citizenship, Correct Alien Reg Nbr (correct alien registration number), Correct Email Address, and Student's Email Address to make a correction to those fields to the ISIR. When a corrected ISIR is requested, the system sends the selected fields to the CPS.

If selected for correction, you can use the Address Use page to view the student's address information that you want to submit. If multiple addresses exist for the student, the system displays the active address type based on the address usage setting on the Process Demo Setup page. To send a different address, you can use the override check box and select from the remaining active student addresses. The Correct Telephone field displays the active telephone number based on the phone usage setting on the Process Demo Setup page. To send the displayed phone number to the CPS for correction, select this check box. If selected, the system displays the Ovrd check box. Select the Ovrd check box to override the telephone number to be sent to the CPS. The system displays a list of options of the student’s active phone types. Select the type to be sent to the CPS. The system then displays the alternate telephone number.

Entering Federal Extension Budget Durations

Access the Federal Extension Budget Durations page.

You can enter any value for FM budget duration. Federal rules allow whole numbers only for budget duration. If the total allocation for the budget duration that you enter for FM is greater than 12 months, the system delivers a warning message that states, “WARNING! The sum of the Academic and Non-Standard Budget Durations must be between 1 and 12.” The system allows you to enter amounts greater than 12 and you can save the amount. However, when you invoke INAS to calculate, the following message appears. “FM Budget Duration is greater than 12 months. FM Duration assumed to be 9 months.” The system returns a 9 month EFC (expected family contribution) for the academic award period. No EFC is calculated for the non-standard award period.

Entering Institutional Extension Budget Durations

ISIR Data

The system displays the Effective Date, Transaction Nbr (transaction number), Correction Status, Status Date, EFC Status, Primary EFC, and Prorated EFC.

EFC Information

The EFC page is designed to resemble the EFC information as it appears on the student's SAR (student aid report).

The following fields display intermediate values derived from federal methodology used to calculate the expected family contribution: TI (total income), STI (student total income), FTI (FISAP total income), TSC (total student contribution), STX (state tax), IPA (income protection allowance), TPC (total parent contribution), SCA (student's contribution from assets), AI (available income), ATI (allowances against total income), EA (employment allowance), DNW (discretionary net worth), PCA (parents' contribution from assets), CAI (calculated available income), AAI (adjusted available income), SIC (student income contribution), and PC (parent contribution).

Corrected/Verified Fields

The system displays the Correction Source for the data, the ISIR Field Nbr (ISIR field number), and the associated Code. The Code indicates if the field was corrected on this ISIR transaction or a previous ISIR transaction.

Viewing Need Summary Monthly EFC

Access the Need Summary Monthly EFC page.

This page remains the same.

On the previous pages, the system displays the 9 month EFC on the EFC/DB Matches\Corr page. The 9 month EFC does not display on the Need Summary Monthly EFC page.

In support of prorated EFC functionality, the system differentiates between the non-standard term as the header–summer, fall, spring–and the non-standard term as a trailer–fall, spring, summer. This affects how the EFC is apportioned. If the non-standard term is the header, then the non-standard EFC uses the months at the beginning of the monthly EFC. If the non-standard term is the trailer, it uses the months at the end of the monthly EFC. The system determines the non-standard term as header or trailer by evaluating FA Term. If a term has been set up on Valid Terms for Career as non-standard with term start and end dates and it appears on FA Term, a comparison occurs. If the non-standard term has a start date before the earliest start date of an academic term, the non-standard term is determined to be the header. Conversely, if the non-standard term has a start date after the earliest start date of an academic term, the non-standard term is determined to be the trailer.

Overriding Expected Family Contribution (EFC)

The system displays the override at the parent and student contribution level. This section discusses how to:

• Override EFC.

• Use the EFC override function.

• View overrides.

• View federal EFC summary.

• View total parent contribution detail.

• View prorated EFC detail.

Pages Used to Override and View EFC

Overriding EFC

Access the INAS Federal Extension page.

The Override Federal EFC link allows professional judgment to override the academic or non-standard parent contribution or student contribution.

Note. You must select an INAS Rule Set before setting the Budget Duration and overriding the EFC. When creating an extension record, you must always select an INAS Rule Set. Failing to do so affects your expected results.

Using the EFC Override Function

Access the EFC Override page.

Enter the actual positive value for the parent contribution and/or student contribution for each award period.

You must select Use EFC Override Values and call INAS for the system to use your override values. If you want to use actual calculated values, simply clear the check box and call INAS.

Click the Defaults button to reset the student contribution and parent contribution to current values from STD_AWD_PER. Defaults come directly from STD_AWD_PER. If you have already calculated INAS using overridden values, those same values are returned when you click the Defaults button. To retrieve calculated values as the default, clear the Use EFC Override Values check box, call INAS, return to this page, and click the Defaults button.

Note. You must make sure that the budget duration set in Local Policy Options or at the extension level supports the EFC overrides being established for the award period. Warning messages appear if you create overrides for an award period that is not supported by the budget duration.

Viewing Overrides

Reviewing EFC Summary Information

Processing ISIR Corrections

When a corrected ISIR loads, a new effective-dated row is inserted into the ISIR Data Corrections component containing all information from the corrected ISIR. The current date is always used as the effective date, rather than the CPS transaction process date.

The federal database match information on the ISIR always updates in the packaging status summary, database match page. You can not alter the database match field. Override fields on this page reflect an institutional override of the database match results.

NSLDS information always loads as long as the NSLDS information on the ISIR is more recent than the current loaded NSLDS information. This is determined by comparison of the NSLDS transaction number.

There are two data load options specifically for corrected ISIRs. The first enables you to suspend the ISIR if the primary EFC on the ISIR does not match the primary EFC displayed in the ISIR Data Corrections component. The second enables you to control the INAS process for corrected ISIRs.

This section discusses the ISIR correction load logic.

Note. PeopleSoft loads only corrected ISIRs submitted by your school. Corrections made by another institution, those initiated by the student, or initiated by CPS do not process and must be resolved individually in the ISIR Suspense Management page.

Reviewing ISIR Correction Load Logic

The following diagram shows the ISIR Correction Load Logic.

ISIR Load Logic

The FAPSAR00 process performs the following steps when corrected ISIRs are processed.

1. The system checks to see if the ISIR is loaded by comparing the Original SSN and Name code from the ISIR against all loaded ISIRs. If no match is found, the ISIR suspends with a suspense reason of “Student Not Found.” If a previously loaded ISIR is found, the next check is performed.

2. The system verifies that the ISIR was corrected by the school by checking either the ISIR ETI or the appropriate Multi-School flag fields If there is a previously loaded ISIR for the student, the correction ISIR is loaded and assigned a load status of Change Processed.

3. You can perform an optional check that compares the primary EFC on the ISIR with the primary EFC on the ISIR Data Corrections component. If they do not match, the ISIR suspends with a suspend reason of “EFC Mismatch.” If the EFCs match, or the option is not selected, the ISIR loads and calls a final optional feature. In the case where the option is set, but there is no previously loaded ISIR to make the comparison, the load process will consider the corrected ISIR as a new application ISIR and process accordingly.

4. You can determine whether a new INAS calculation is performed once the ISIR loads.

Processing Outbound Files

There are two steps in the process of sending files out. First, run a process that moves all the outbound files to the outbound staging tables. Second, run the process to create a flat file from the data in the staging tables. You can then send the flat file to the CPS. Use the outbound file processes to send ISIR corrections, add institution requests, and FAFSA signature files. This section discusses how to:

• Move records to outbound staging tables.

• View run information.

• View outbound staging tables.

• Create outbound files for CPS.

Pages Used to Process Outbound Files

Moving Records to Outbound Staging Tables

Access the ISIR Corrections Export page.

The system displays the Run Control ID.

Click the Refresh button to update the Process Instance and Run Date and Time fields.

Click the Batch Messages Print link to create a text file containing the messages generated during the load process. The message file that is created for printing is called FAMSGPRT.LIS. Its location is based on the TEMP setting in the configuration manager.

Click the Run button and run the FAPCOR00 process from the process scheduler. When this process has completed successfully, the outbound files in the database move to the ISIR staging tables

Viewing Run Information

Access the Batch Statistics page.

Batch Number	The system displays PeopleSoft's internal batch number assigned to the ISIR correction record.
Total Number of Records Output	The number of records exported for either the batch number or the signature batch number.

Reviewing ISIR EDI Outbound File Process

The FA_OUTBOUND Application Engine process generates files for transmission to the CPS. You use the FA_OUTBOUND process after running the ISIR Corrections Export process.

When run, the FA_OUTBOUND process selects records in the outbound staging tables and generates CPS files ready for transmission. The process names the files in the appropriate message class. If multiple files of the same message class are generated at once, the file name extension is incremented to insure uniqueness (ex :CORR05IN.001). If there are previously generated files of the same message class in the output directory, the process insures that those files are not overwritten.

Creating Outbound Files for CPS

Access the FA Outbound page.

Set the Outbound File Path field with the location of the generated files. Make sure the application server has access to the file location.

Set the Outbound File Type field to indicate the files to be generated. The files supported by the FA_OUTBOUND process are as follows:

Select the Aid Year to be processed.

Select the Institution to be processed.

To run the process, click the Run button and select the FA_OUTBOUND process from the Process Scheduler Request page.

Viewing Outbound Staging Tables

Access the CPS Files Sent page.

Click the Detail link to display all of the outbound staging table fields.

Processing Rejected ISIR Correction Files

Use the FASAREXX process to load ISIR Correction files that were rejected by the CPS. This section discusses how to:

• Load error files.

• Make corrections to rejected ISIR corrections.

Pages Used to Process Rejected ISIR Correction Files

Loading Error Files

Access the Load ISIR Error File page.

The system displays the Run Control ID.

Click the Refresh button to update the Process Instance and Run Date and Time fields.

Making Corrections to Rejected ISIR Corrections

Access the ISIR Corrections Management page.

Note. You can view all PeopleSoft initiated ISIR corrections in the ISIR Corrections Management component after the corrections export process is run. In the past, when a corrected ISIR returned from the CPS, the ISIR load process deleted the correction management information of the most recent ISIR correction record

Making corrections to rejected ISIR Correction files requires several steps.

1. Review the ISIR correction file using the Corrections Management page.

   1. Select Resubmit in the Action field for any field you want to resubmit.

   2. If you do not want a field resubmitted, select Delete/Ignore in the Action field.

   3. Save the changes before exiting the Corrections Management page.

2. Go to the ISIR data Corrections component to make any additional changes to ISIR fields.

   1. If required, call INAS to recalculate the EFC.

   2. Set the correction status to Send (Correction(s).

   3. Save the changes before exiting the ISIR data corrections component.

3. Run the ISIR correction export process.

When the ISIR Corrections build process (FAPCOR00) runs, a new ISIR correction record is created for the student. This correction record includes fields from the rejected ISIR corrections that have been marked as Resubmit, plus any new changes made in the ISIR data corrections pages. A new set of data representing the new ISIR correction record is created in the ISIR correction management page. The rejected ISIR correction file updates to indicate a new batch status of Reprocessed.

The system displays student name, ID, Aid Year, and Institution.

Deleting ISIR and NSLDS Information

This component does not support deleting NSLDS records that were loaded from the NSLDS FAT load process. Deleting data from an NSLDS FAT data file load may create orphan data in the database. The pages do not reset any calculated need summary information that displays in the packaging status summary and awarding pages. The summary information on the packaging status summary and awarding page is stored in PS_STDNT_AWD_PER that is updated when an ISIR loads. Need must be recalculated through a new ISIR load with INAS or by performing an online INAS to synchronize the need calculations.

The component does not correct ISIR database match and verification selection information loaded into the PS_STDNT_AID_ATRBT record from the ISIR. The ISIR database match and verification selection information is viewed in the Packaging Status Summary component. You must either load a new ISIR to synchronize the data or manually reset/override the information on the Packaging Status Summary component using the ISIR Data Corrections Database Match page as your source data.

Using this component does not insure that the proper ISIR audit information is preserved if all related ISIR data correction rows are not deleted. Use the page to delete all ISIR information for an ISIR transaction number. For example, if there are 3 rows of effective-dated ISIR data for the same transaction number (someone made corrections to the ISIR in the ISIR Data Corrections component) and you choose to delete only one row of information, you will lose all of the ISIR audit information.

Warning! Please restrict access to this component to your staff members with the proper knowledge and authority. This component enables you to delete student ISIR information from the database. Incorrectly deleted or modified information can create data integrity errors in your database, or adversely impact downstream processes.

The system does not prevent performing the following actions, but be aware of the consequences

This section discusses how to:

• Delete selected ISIR records and delete additional ISIR rows entered in the ISIR Data Corrections component, including ISIR audit data.

• Delete NSLDS records loaded from an ISIR record and modify the effective date of previously loaded ISIR NSLDS historical data.

Pages Used to Delete ISIR and NSLDS Information

Deleting ISIR Records

Access the ISIR Delete page.

Each row in the grid represents an effective-dated row in the ISIR Data Corrections component. All related ISIR rows have the same transaction number.

The system displays the student's name, ID, Aid Year, and Institution.

Click the Delete Selected ISIRs button to delete the rows from the grid that you selected. If you save the page changes, the data is permanently deleted from the database and can no longer be viewed in the ISIR Data Corrections component.

Rules for Deleting ISIR Rows

After you delete ISIR data from the page, you must do the following:

1. Go to the ISIR Data Corrections component to verify that the data is deleted.

2. Review and reset any calculated need summary information that displays in the packaging status summary and awarding pages. Need must be recalculated to synchronize the need calculations on the pages. If there is still data in the ISIR Data Corrections component, recalculate the need. If you are loading new ISIR data, make sure that an INAS calculation performs after the ISIR loads.

3. Review and correct ISIR database match and verification selection information loaded into the in the packaging status summary page. Loading a new ISIR synchronizes the data, if you do not load a new ISIR, you must manually reset/override the information on the Packaging Status Summary component using the current ISIR Data Corrections component, Database Match page, as the source data.

4. Verify that the appropriate ISIR audit information is deleted.

Deleting NSLDS Records

Access the NSLDS Delete page.

This page consists of two scroll areas. The outer scroll area controls high-level status information of the student's NSLDS history record. The inner scroll area controls information on the individual NSLDS records that were loaded from the student's ISIR or the NSLDS transcript file. You must decide at what level to delete data. Ask yourself if the student's entire history should be deleted or just the most recent set of loaded NSLDS information.

The system displays the student's name, ID, Aid Year, and Institution.

When an ISIR loads, NSLDS information does not always load. To identify the NSLDS information you want to delete, match the effective date and NSLDS transaction number on the ISIR delete page with the NSLDS transaction number and transaction process date with the correct ISIR source year value on the NSLDS delete page. These date fields will match as long as you did not use the current date as the effective date feature on the ISIR Data Load Parms, or manually overrode the ISIR effective date when the ISIR loaded.

If you override the effective date when loading ISIRs, you can still match the NSLDS data with the ISIR by using the ISIR Data Corrections component to compare the transaction process date.

It will be easy to identify the appropriate records to delete since they will most likely be the most recent rows in the database.

Rules for Deleting NSLDS Data

If you want to delete every row in the grid, you will delete the entire NSLDS history for the student. To do this you should delete information from the outer scroll area. Select any field in the area controlled by the outer scroll bar and delete the row. This deletes all rows in the grid area as well.

If you want to delete only part of the student's NSLDS history, for example only data from the last ISIR, do the following:

1. Delete the appropriate row in the grid.

2. Update the NSLDS transaction number, transaction source, and last updated fields with the matching information from the current effective-dated row in the grid.

3. Set the last updated date to match the effective date value. This resynchronizes the data viewed in the NSLDS inquiry page.

Viewing ISIR History

Use the ISIR History Inquiry component to view ISIR and need analysis information. This component displays information in display mode only. This component is designed to display all ISIR fields across all aid years. Fields that are not valid in a particular aid year appear as blank or zero.

Note. Some ISIR fields do not display a text description, but the literal field value. This is due to the text descriptions changing from one aid year to another.

See Also

The EDE Technical Reference documentation for the relevant aid year to get the valid field value descriptions.

Pages Used to View ISIR History

Using the ISIR Reject/Assumption Report

The purpose of the report is to identify any current, loaded ISIR where specific CPS generated field value assumptions or reject codes have been issued. Your financial Aid staff can process the assumption/rejects by using the ISIR Assumption and Reject override fields on the ISIR Data Corrections panel group. The report checks for an assumed value for the following fields: Parent number in college, Parent AGI, Parent Worksheet C total, Student number in college, Student AGI, Student Worksheet C total. The following reject codes are also monitored: B, N, and W.

The report is provided to resolve the following scenario: A student has a second ISIR transaction loaded into the system that corrects assumed or rejected values on the original ISIR in the system. If you run INAS after loading the second ISIR transaction, it may cause INAS to incorrectly calculate the student's EFC. For example, a student's first ISIR has an assumed value for the parent's Worksheet C amount. You then receive and load a second ISIR for the student that confirms the initially reported value. If you run INAS after loading the second ISIR, the student's EFC calculation may be incorrect. The problem is that INAS does not suppress the assumption as the CPS does; instead, INAS invokes assumptions based on INAS specifications. To have INAS suppress the assumption, you must set an assumption override manually for the student on the Assumption Overrides panel.

The system continues to select ISIR records on the report until the following occurs:

• Records selected because of an assumed value have the corresponding assumed indicator field value set to verified or reported through the verification process or manually in the ISIR Data Corrections panel group.

• A new ISIR with no assumptions or rejects is loaded.

• Reject overrides have been set for records with reject codes.

Note. Because several INAS assumptions can occur against the fields used by the report, the system may select records where using the Assumption Override fields will not be the appropriate action to resolve the EFC calculation.
