Introduction
• Discuss UNCW’s feed process for non-Banner feeds• Discuss how UNCW verifies FOAPAL information prior to
finance feed processing• Discuss how UNCW utilizes Banner functionality as well
as locally developed applications to automate finance feed processing
• Determine if UNCW’s processes are functional for your campus

Why Create the Process
• Needed to upload feeds from 3rd party software applications as well as locally developed systems
• Needed to upload feeds from excel files where departments had no software applications to create the feed
• Could use excel file template similar to FRS data load template
• No UNIX folders established for excel files in which users could drop files
• Lack of Banner experience• FUPLOAD was problematic per Banner consultant• UNCW initially created the process when Banner was first
implemented

How Did UNCW Setup the Process
• Created Samba shares for every area submitting excel file feeds
• All feed users either map a drive or create a shortcut on their desktop to the Samba Share folder
• These Samba shares are to be cleaned out periodically by the folder administrators

How Did UNCW Setup the Process
• Created UNCW table to maintain folder system id linkage and identifies folder administrators

How Did UNCW Setup the Process
• Created UNCW table to map CSV columns to Oracle fields in GURFEED
![Page 9: An Alternative to FUPLOAD – Uploading Transactions with FOAPAL Checks Carole Wilson/Don Sloan UNC Wilmington.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e215503460f94b0e400/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

How Did UNCW Setup the Process
• Created 3 temporary GURFEED staging tables
Excel Feeds Business Application Feeds ITS
Application Feeds
• No document numbers on feeds at this point

How Did UNCW Setup the Process
• Created FTMSDAT records for Rule Code and Folder Info
Allowable Rule Codes

How Did UNCW Setup the Process
• Wrote 2 Banner processes– FWFMPORT
• Checks Samba directories for CSV files• Removes quotes from the description field• Verifies the default org/program are correct• Identifies the default rule code and system ID based on FTMSDAT
setup• Moves error free excel feeds into temporary GURFEED staging table • Moves files with errors (typically FOAPAL errors) into a subdirectory
and renames the file with xxx.errors• Sends email to folder administrators with errors
– FWLOADA• Add document numbers to all feeds in all temporary GURFEED staging
tables• Moves all feeds from temporary GURFEED staging tables to
GURFEED

What is the Process
Anytime During the Day• User puts CSV file in Samba share (windows-enabled
folder on UNIX box)– File names cannot be longer than 35 characters– Files with the same name will be overwritten– Commas should never be used in the description field
• 3rd party and locally developed applications put data into appropriate temporary GURFEED tables
![Page 15: An Alternative to FUPLOAD – Uploading Transactions with FOAPAL Checks Carole Wilson/Don Sloan UNC Wilmington.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e215503460f94b0e400/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
What is the Process
Hourly During the Day through UC4 (AppWorx)• FWFMPORT is run
– Checks Samba directories for CSV files– Removes quotes from the description field– Verifies the default org/program are correct– Identifies the default rule code and system ID based on
FTMSDAT setup– Moves error free excel feeds into temporary GURFEED staging
table – Moves files with errors into a subdirectory and renames the file
with xxx.errors– Sends email to folder administrators with errors

16
What is the Process
Every 2 Hours During the Day through UC4 (AppWorx)• FWLOADA
– Add document numbers to all feeds in all temporary GURFEED staging tables
– Moves all feeds from temporary GURFEED staging tables to GURFEED
• FURFEED• FGRTRNI • FGRTRNR
Feeds are now in Banner Finance!
