Cycle Processing Procedure
The Cycle Processing Procedure contains a guide to help you run the cycle process in the correct sequence. It contains brief instructions and tips for running both the GUI and CURL programs that need to be performed to complete the cycle processing.
Tip: In addition, you can use an abbreviated Cycle Processing Checklist to guide you as to the steps for the process.
a. Finish entering the registration data that you want to include in the cycle.
b. Run the Vehicle Receipts Journal to proof and balance the work being posted.

Click Daily Work, Vehicle Receipts and then click Post.

These steps allow you to build the registration export file for sending to the BMV.

Click Proceed to begin.
2. After the Create Work File is completed, select Data Verification Report to list the 2-part report for proofing the registration data in the work file.
There are no report options. The report simply generates and displays.
To print a hard-copy, right-click and choose Print.
Note: Upon closing the first window, the second part of the report displays.
3. After you have approved the Verification Report, choose Export to create the Export data file. A window similar to below displays:
The Export Control ID generally displays from the previous session. You can search for or enter another ID, if needed.

Click Proceed to begin.
Follow the steps provided by the BMV to upload the registration data file and export reports. Do not continue until you are sure the export completed successfully.
When the plate inventory reports have been proofed and verified, the next step is to close the plate inventory cycle.
