BRS/BPS Interface Questions and Resolutions

I did a Function 19 on a 606 in the BRS system yesterday, but it has not updated my balances on the BD701 report (or in GL). Look at the BRS interface report found in OSCOP*BC305-1BRS to BC.  If the 606 came through the interface last night, it will be listed on either the BC Document Detail report or the Invalid Accounting Distributions report.  Errors listed on the Invalid Accounting Distributions report must be corrected and the Function 19 must be repeated for that 606.  If the 606 is not on either report, the OSC Technical staff can confirm whether the 606 missed the interface cut-off in which case it will process in the next run of the interface.  Otherwise, contact OSBM technical support for the BRS system to determine why the Function 19 did not add the 606 to the interface file.
When will OSC post my new certified budget in BPS to NCAS? Your OSBM analyst determines when your certified budget is to be posted, not OSC.  Contact your OSBM analyst for assistance.  The analyst notifies the OSBM technical support for the BPS system that your budget is complete and ready to be posted.  OSBM technical support then creates the interface file for NCAS.  NCAS processes the file on the same night as it is received.  OSC receives no prior notice that the file is coming through the system.
Why did posting my 606 to NCAS generate a balancing entry to suspense? This happens primarily on type 14 revisions.  The interface assumes that type 14 revisions will have balanced debits/credits.  The accounting rules for a 14-type revision do not generate offsets to the state appropriations/fund balance account (639100/639200).  If on a type 14 revision, you balance it using the Appropriation or Fund Balance line, this balancing amount is not processed through the interface.  Clear the suspense entry against 639100 for general fund budget codes.  Clear the suspense entry against 639200 for other budget codes.
