Additional Information
  • Never use the Excel option it adds incompatible characters CAFR cannot process though import
  • Excel option is only used for quickly checking selected data for review, not for CAFR import
  • Always use the Create ASCII" option with 24 column format
  • EERP can only export Current Year or Last Year EERP data.
    • Sites can create their own files manually if CAFR needs data from before Last Year EERP.  CAFR Trainers will tell sites no its not possible, logically it is though.  Just not built into design of EERP to allow it.
      • Run reports in EERP to pull needed data (YTD Budget Report, Balance Sheet, Account Trial Balance)
      • Update a copy of working EERP export for CAFR in Excel then save once correctly populated to needed file format for CAFR Import.
  • Export file is created with a user name of **Unknown** so it cannot be found in Saved Reports as an invalid user name will not work with any EERP permissions.
