Summary

The DL record format has changed for FY15 reporting.  The The first FY15 reporting period, 15C, will be taking place concurrently with FY14N reporting.  DL DL records are reported during both reporting periods. To accommodate the change in format between the two fiscal years, and allow the records to be reported during the same time frame, EMISFFE has been updated to include two DL record options.

EMISFFE Handling

From the main EMISFFE menu you will see the following:
 

The first option, "Grade Schedule (DL)" should be used for the FY14 format. The second option you will notice includes "FY15", use this option for FY15 formatted records.

Export

The Export option will use extract the appropriate records based upon the Fiscal Year selected from the Export options page.

Import

If importing a file which contains DL records, you will see a new prompt asking which Fiscal Year the records are being imported for.  The The Fiscal year prompt in the Import applies ONLY to the DL records, regardless of what other record types may be included in the import file. The fiscal year prompt will not be seen in the Import if there are no DL records detected in the file being imported.
