UAFR - JV Feeder Front-End User Guide

For the JV Feeder process, there is one format used for Banner JV (General Ledger/Journal Voucher).

Feeder File Naming Specifications

Files submitted for processing need to follow this naming convention: fi_gl_transactions.ssssssss.yyyymmddhhmmss.xxx

Please note the following:

  • ssssssss is the OBFS assigned System ID, yyyymmdd is the submission date,
  • hhmmsss is the submission time (24 hour military time with seconds), and
  • .xxx is the file type (.txt, .csv and .xls/.xlsx accepted).

The entire file name must be in lower case letters. All periods (.) are required. The interface will not process files that fail to meet this naming standard.

Document Numbers

A unique document number must identify each document in Banner. External feeder document numbers have the following format: PPNNNNNN

PP is unique 2-character code assign to each unit submitting feeders NNNNNN is a sequential number

The Banner process creates a unique document number for each document based on the System ID. This ensures that no duplicate document numbers are submitted to Banner for posting. It is highly recommended that users allow Banner to assign document numbers. Units that wish to produce their own document numbers are required to generate a unique number for each document. Duplicate document numbers are rejected during the Banner processing.
