Fiscal Year End Procedures

If your Final Staff and Course Collection is not complete at Fiscal Year end, or you want to make a copy to preserve your data before making changes for next Fiscal Year, please run the following steps. This will create a flat file of your data that can be modified if you need to submit after data is updated for the Fiscal Year.

1. Run USPEMS/USPEMX program to create the flat file for EMIS reporting. This file(s) will containing your fiscal year information prior to entering information for the next fiscal year.
- Send an email to mail_staff_fis@nwoca.org stating that the USPEMX.SEQ file has been created.
- Wait for a reply email from NWOCA stating that the USPEMX.SEQ file is ready and you may continue processing.

Due to the importance of your USPEMX.SEQ and/or USPEMX_EMISR.SEQ file(s), please do not proceed with the next step until notified by NWOCA with an email. NWOCA will run a procedure on their end to preserve the file(s).

2. Run the EMX_EMAIL process from the USPS_LCL menu to email the USPEMX.SEQ file to yourself.
3. If you are responsible for loading staff data for EMIS. If staff data for the previous year was reported using EMISFFE, this data will need to be cleared out. You then have the choice to either upload the USPEMX.SEQ file to EMISFFE or to the SIF data collector or email the USPEMX.SEQ file to your EMIS coordinator, if they are responsible for loading this data.
4. If your district reports CJ records and a USPEMX_EMISR.SEQ file has been created the EMISR_COPY procedure found under the USPS_LCL menu must be ran in order to get the file uploaded to the data collector.

USPS EMIS Fiscal Year Staff Updates Using EMISFFE

If updates are needed for any staff member that may already be included in the USPEMX flat file, the EMIS coordinator will need to import this flat file into the EMISFFE application and complete updates. Once complete, they will export the file making certain to select FYXX and reporting period "L".

If no updates are needed, the USPEMX.SEQ file created by USPEMS can be uploaded.

If updates made in EMISFFE are part of the employee's permanent record, such as birth date, make the same change in USPS.
