Agenda

• Introductions

• Agency’s FI Interfaces and related processes

• Interface & Testing Timeline

• Testing & Certification Process

• Interface Monitoring

• Future Enhancements

• Discussion

IOG’s (Interface Operating Guides)

• The Interface Operations Guide (IOG) contains the interface specific information required for State of South Carolina Agencies to integrate with the SCEIS system. The IOGs and Applications are located on the SCEIS website under the Technical tab – www.sceis.sc.gov

• Each interface will contain the following elements as it relates to a particular business process:

• Interface Number (i.e.: IF383, IF387)• Description (i.e.: AP Direct Pay, Journal Entry)• File Names (i.e.: e120.a1.if383.directpay.inbound.date/time)• File Layouts (i.e.: Transaction Key, Approval Grouping, etc)• Load Reports (i.e.: Valid/Invalid)• Frequency (i.e.: Batch or Immediate)• Error Handling (i.e.: Reports and/or Files)

• IF382: AP PO Invoice Inbound Interface

• IF385: AR Customer Payment Inbound Interface

• IF390: Grant Budget Inbound Interface

• IF393: Accrual Entry

• Step 1: Agency System transmits file to SCEIS via secure FTP • Step 2: File is received on SCEIS FTP Server and initial checks are performed a. No Errors File is loaded to holding table and transmittal

report emailed to Agency b. Errors Error Notification emailed to Agency & Error File

loaded to FTP folder

• Step 3: File on holding table is run during nightly batch process or processed immediately within a 30 minute window

a. No Errors File is processed according to Workflow and valid report emailed to Agency

b. Errors Error Notification emailed to Agency and Error file received

Testing & Certification Process

Interface Testing and Certification Process is as follows:

• Before an Agency Interface is moved to Production:

• The Agency lead or AST lead must certify that the appropriate testing is complete

• Once the testing is complete and communicated to the SCEIS team, the SCEIS interface and functional teams review and certify accordingly

8

Interface Reports

There are several reports that are emailed back to the agency based on the Source System ID field. Email recipients are associated with each agency system and the reports are sent as email attachments in a PDF format. There is a notification report, a successful report and an error report.

•A transmittal notification report is sent when the file is received by the system. •The successful and error reports are sent when the data is processed by the system. •The reports may vary slightly based on the interface type, but will be similar to the examples shown.

INSTRUCTIONS TO UPLOAD IF387 FILE

Interface Upload Process

Click on the EXECUTE button to load the file. The File will process within 45 minutes. You will receive a Workflow email with a Valid report of the documents processed or an Error report of the documents.

.

Interface Upload Process

SCEIS has created an interface monitoring tool. This tool will allow authorized users to view the status of their interfaces using an on-line SCEIS transaction.

The use of this tool allows you to perform the following:• View the status of an interface to determine if the interface is transmitted successfully

via FTP or manual upload• View the errors identified in the processing of the data• View the status to determine that files are “valid”.

This information is the same that you are already receiving through e-mail notifications. The on-line monitoring tool can be used alone or in conjunction with the e-mail notifications.

QuestionsIf you have questions about the monitoring tool or application/set up process, please contact the SCEIS Interface Team at: interfaces@sceis.sc.gov.

Interface Monitoring Process

Interface Online Monitoring Display Process This process is designed to assist Agencies with tracking and correcting their interface files. With this process, selected agency staff will have the ability to :1. Check if the file transmitted successfully by FTP or upload2. Track the file progress 3. Display and Print Transmittal, Error, and Valid PDF Reports4. Display and Print File Funding Detail5.Display documents and lines in error

Access & Security  To access these reports, the person must have access to SCEIS with an appropriate role based on Business Area, Source System, and Interface Type. (Example: Business Area: F030, Source System – KA Interface Type – IF383). A person can have access to individual interfaces or all interfaces for the agency. The transaction is Z_AGENCY_INTERFACES  YMM_IF_AGY_MON_DSP-N040CNIM383 (Business Area + Source System + Interface Type)

ZMM_IF_AGY_MON_DSP-N040 (composite role – all Source Systems for N040)

Interface Monitoring Process

Monitoring will show status of file – Pending, Errors, and Processed. PENDING FILES have not been processed yet. ERROR FILES received errors during the processing job. PROCESSED FILES contain Documents that processed valid.

Interface Monitoring Process

This information must be supplied for each type of interface and corresponding source system that you want to use the monitoring tool to track the status of the interface. List the names of the users to have access to the monitoring tool for each interface/source system.

User Name Interface Type /Source System

Currently, SCEIS is in the testing phase of providing an ‘EDIT’ option for Interface Monitoring. This will allow designated persons at the agency to correct an Errored interface file and resubmit the file online in SCEIS. The editing option will show an audit trail of changes to the interface file. This will include the userid, and the fields changed before and after image. To edit the file, you will click on the ‘pencil’ icon in left top corner.

.

Enhancements for Monitoring

The fields highlighted in white can be modified. Also, you can add line items and delete line items. If you make a Line Item Amount change, the Gross Amount is recalculated and you receive a message showing the new Gross Amount when you hit the ‘SAVE’ button.

.

Enhancements for Monitoring

There is a ‘Resubmit Data’ button to resubmit the file for processing. You can resubmit the file without making changes to the file. There is also an ‘Audit’ button that displays all changes showing the before and after image.
