HR Authority Remittance Interface

Use this form to edit existing formats, or to create new ones. The Default file is a reference to the directory path to which the output file is saved. The output defaults to the HR Authority Remittance Export Report form for ease of data entry whenever you select an authority that uses this interface for export.

Select the interface type HR Authority Remittance Interface and enter or select an Interface name. Then, select Edit interface.

File Format

Select a file format, which defines how to format the data in the output file.

Each field in a fixed-length file must have a Length parameter defined and it must be precise. Greentree Desktop uses the length to determine at which point it meets a new field within a line in the file.

Some fixed length files have a carriage return at the end of each line, and some will not. Those that do not look like a continuous string of data, and the file will not wrap.

If the file format is Comma delimited, the values in the Length column in the Lines section do not apply.

Blocks

Select the Used box for the section to create for the file. You can choose Header, Transaction, or Footer.

Greentree Desktop updates the No of fields column as fields are created in the Lines table. The Record length column also updates using the length of each line.

Lines

Lines are visible in the table using the block that is selected. Assign values and lengths to each line to create your interface format.
