Report 951 ERS Daily Input File Diagnostic

This report is the product of a program in USPS that compares data sent from the ERS Daily Insurances Change file to the prescribed format that is required for each field on that file. This process is run prior to creating Report 999, Daily Insurance Report.

If the ERS Daily Insurance Change file has any data that is not in the prescribed format for a specific field this program will produce a W – warning or an F – fail error message for that field on the report. Transactions with F messages will not be applied to Group Insurance/TexFlex Participant Information HMTU1 screen. These errors can then be worked by the agency in ERS OnLine. If ERS combines two nights Daily Insurances Change files into one file an internal file count error may occur causing this report to display 999-99-9999 in the employee SSN field. In this case, the records sent by ERS have processed, but the control totals records do not match what the USPS program totals. This does not mean that the information sent for that days file is in error, only the control totals records do not match.

ERS receives all of the agencies errors on the ERS Daily Input File Diagnostic Report 950 sent to ERS daily. This report informs ERS of any agencies errors that were reported to the agency on Report 951. This process also creates Financial Adjustment Report 572.
