55 (550) Recurring Transaction Profile

Agency defined. The Recurring Transaction Profile (55) screen allows an agency to define a single coding block or multiple coding blocks for the receipt of system generated interagency transfers (ITVs). The 55 profile must be set up for each applicable appropriation year (AY). It is also referred to as the recurring transaction index (RTI) profile, and the process is referred to as the RTI process. The RTI process can be used for both cash and non-cash transactions. For cash RTI transactions, the RTI process allows the funds held in the state treasury to be automatically transferred from one agency to another agency. Once an RTI profile is set up, it may be used repeatedly for any interagency transactions that post to the same coding block.

Interagency transactions include:

Payments for goods and services,
State or federal pass-throughs,
Operating transfers,
Revenue transfers,
Expenditure transfers and
Non-cash accruals such as due to/due from transactions for financial reporting purposes.

Note: Additions, changes and deletions of records on this screen are subjected to the same edits as any other financial transaction including user class and transaction code requirements.

This profile includes some functions that are not currently in use:

The 55 profile can be used to define specific coding blocks to be retrieved online during transaction entry by entering the agency and RTI number on any transaction entry screen and pressing the F10 key.
The 55 profile can be used to provide the coding block data and the generate schedule for system generated recurring transactions such as rent and monthly accruals. The Recurring Transaction Request Profile (93) is used to schedule the generation of the recurring transactions.

ACTION (Required)
Enter the one-character action code.

A	Add a new record
C	Change an existing record*
D	Delete an existing record*
N	Next – Recall next record Note: The agency number is a required field for the next action to display information.

*Note: Record must be recalled before this action can be performed.

AGENCY (Control key – Required)
Enter the three-digit agency number assigned to the agency.

Note: This is the financial agency. This field identifies the agency for which the transaction is posted. The financial agency may be different from the batch agency and document agency. For example, if the Comptroller’s office enters a transaction for another agency (for example, 123), the batch agency would be 902 and the agency for the transaction would be 123.

TRANS NO (Control key – Required)
Enter the transaction number (up to six digits). Multiple transaction numbers can be established for a single RTI if multiple coding blocks are required for a single recurring transaction. If only one coding block is required, the TRANS NO and RTI may be the same number.

RTI (Required to add new record)
Enter the recurring transaction index number (up to six digits). Multiple transaction numbers (TRANS NO) can be established for a single RTI if multiple coding blocks are required for a single recurring transaction.

USER ID (System generated)
Displays the seven-digit user ID number of the user who set up the profile record.

DESCRIPTION (Optional)
Enter the description for the recurring transaction (up to 40 characters).

Enter the payment distribution type (PDT) or leave blank to be looked up in TINS for each detail transaction generated using this recurring transaction profile record. For Payment Distribution Types, please see USAS Reference.

Note: A PDT value of T is required for all interagency transactions. USAS uses the PDT of T to identify interagency transactions and to apply the applicable edits and processing rules for interagency transactions.

MOD (Not currently in use)
Enter the one-character modifier. A modifier is required on encumbrance transactions referencing pre-encumbrances and on expenditure transactions referencing encumbrances. The modifier identifies how the pre-encumbrance or encumbrance liquidation document should be posted to the document financial (DF) table.

	Blank – Defaults to P for partial liquidation.
F	Final liquidation – The transaction represents a final payment on the pre-encumbrance or encumbrance and the document will be set to closed status on the document financial table. Any remaining balance on the pre-encumbrance or encumbrance will be liquidated.
P	Partial liquidation – The transaction represents a partial payment on the pre-encumbrance or encumbrance document. Only the amount of the transaction will be liquidated up to the amount of the outstanding encumbrance balance.
A	Activate a previously closed pre-encumbrance or encumbrance document.
C	Close a pre-encumbrance or encumbrance document to preclude further posting (used for final receipts). C is used to close a pre-encumbrance or encumbrance document if a modifier of F was not used on the final expenditure transaction. The document will be set to closed status on the document financial table. Any remaining balance on the document will not be liquidated.

Note: The corresponding functionality for accounts receivable is not available.

Enter the 11-digit vendor/payee number. The vendor/payee number must be either a valid TINS or USAS vendor/payee number. USAS vendor/payee numbers start with a zero and cannot be used to process payment generating transactions.

Enter the three-character alphanumeric vendor/payee mail code. The mail code identifies the vendor/payee’s mailing address or electronic payment routing instructions for payment distribution. A single vendor/payee may have multiple mail codes.

% SUM (System generated
Displays the calculated total of all % ALLOCATED fields for all TRANS NOS with the same RTI number. Processing errors will occur if the percentage sum does not equal 1.000000 (100%).

STATUS CODE (Optional)
Enter the one-character status code.

A	Active (Default)
I	Inactive

Note: The status code may be used in lieu of deleting a profile record to prevent the system from using the profile record for system processing. Set the status to I to inactivate profiles no longer in use.

EFF START DATE (Optional)
Enter the eight-digit effective start date (MMDDYYYY), which identifies when the information established on the profile record becomes accessible for system processing. Leaving this field blank causes the vendor/payee number to become immediately available for system processing, and the effective start date defaults to the current date.

EFF END DATE (Optional)
Enter the eight-digit effective end date (MMDDYYYY), which identifies when the profile record is no longer accessible for system processing. Leaving this field blank causes the profile to have no effective end date; therefore, any system processing using the profile record will not be restricted by the effective end date.

LAST PROC DATE (System generated)
Displays the last process date. The system defaults to the last date (MMDDYYYY) that any online modification (add or change) was made to the profile record.

Function Key Definitions

F1	(Help) Automatically links to the News/Help Table (90) screen. Will transfer to the appropriate type of help depending upon the screen and activity the user is on at the time F1 is pressed.
F3	(End) Returns the screen to the menu associated with that screen.
F4	(Interrupt) Initiates or ends an active interrupt. When ending an active interrupt, F4 returns the user to the original screen showing the same information as was on the screen when the active interrupt was initiated. This does not undo the last action.
F6	(Process) Submits transaction data to the edit process. If the edit process is successful, an acceptance message is produced, and the profile record information is stored in the system. If the edit process is not successful, an error message(s) will result. Retains current information on the screen upon completion of processing.
