Subject: ARRA Jobs & Expenditure warnings


If you have reported jobs created/retained, many of the awards have
produced one or more warning messages stating:

1, Warning Code: INVALID_NUM_JOBS_WARNING, Warning Message: [If Number
of
Jobs* is greater than 0, it cannot equal or exceed Total Federal Amount
ARRA Funds Received/Invoiced*.]
2, Warning Code: INVALID_NUM_JOBS_WARNING, Warning Message: [If Number
of
Jobs* is greater than 0, it cannot equal or exceed Total Federal Amount
of
ARRA Expenditure*.]
3, Warning Code: INVALID_NUM_JOBS_WARNING, Warning Message: [If Number
of
Jobs* is greater than 0, it cannot equal or exceed Total Federal ARRA
Infrastructure Expenditure.]

You may have received only one or two or all three of the warning
messages.
I believe the intent is to identify awards where jobs are being reported
but no expenditures are being reported.  If you received all three error
messages, then you have reported jobs but no arra monies invoiced or
expended.  This is likely an error and should be reviewed.

However, if you are only receiving the message regarding the
infrastructure
amount, this means that you have reported funds invoiced and/or expended
so
this is probably a 'warning' that can be ignored.

I will try to get some clarification on this because if this is the feds
approach, then this means we will receive these warning messages each
time
we try to upload data.
