[Cobo] Questions about vendor file interface

[Maria L Moccia-Wolff]

Bobby,

We have some questions about the attachment you sent recently titled 
"Nightly Vendor File Interface - Higher Ed".

First, about the business unit (agency) identifier, field #2.  How will 
this be used?  This is not noted as an optional field.  If we enter 
business unit 01000, will this prevent other business units (agencies) 
from adding or using this vendor?

Second, about the vendor type, EMP or TIN, field #22.  Which should we use 
for travel claims?  Will this change Jan 1, when we expect that direct 
deposit of travel checks will resume?

Third, Code SSN/TIN (field #24).  How will this field be used?  Sometimes 
it is difficult to distinguish between a SSN and TIN for vendors.

Fourth, there are some fields which seem to be intended for use with EFT 
transactions (Bank ID Number, field #25, Bank Account Type, #26, Bank 
Account Number, #27).   Should we be populating these fields for travel 
claims effective Oct 1?  What about after Jan 1?  Should they always be 
left blank for non-travel claims?

Thanks.

Maria
