How to Reverse Suffolk County Town Import

Description of Issue

How to reverse the Suffolk County, NY Town Import process for either January or June.

Context
  • NY Property Tax Billing

  • Town Import

  • Suffolk County, NY

Cause

Resolution

The Town Import does not have the capability to reverse or remove an entire set of imported records. However, it does have built-in logic to import additional records that haven't already been imported yet:

  • If reimporting a January file, Tax Year Settings Process Status must be a 1. Functionality is unavailable if the Town Update program has already been run (Bills already created).

  • If reimporting a June file, Tax Year Settings Process Status must be either a 4 or 6. Functionality is unavailable if the Town Update program has already been run (Bills already updated with Payment and Adjustment activity).

  • If reimporting a January or June file while Tax Year Settings Process status is either a 0 or 2, the Town Import will not utilize the Reversal functionality and may create duplicate Parcel Data, since the program assumes the process has not been run yet

  • If receiving an error while importing, contact Enterprise ERP Tax Support.

Additional Information

A Process Status 99 indicates a completed bill run where the June Bill Update program has already run. The Reset Town program can be used to clear all Town Import records the following year. See article: How to clear Suffolk County Town Import records with the Town Reset
