MSR Magnetic Filing Procedure

Below are the steps that outline the MSR Magnetic Filing Procedure:

1. Make sure the correct versions of the Build Monthly Work File were run.

2. Confirm the setup in MSR Transmitter Record Maintenance.  If you are in the test phase, set the Filing Type accordingly.  Reset the Filing Type when your transmissions go live.

3. Run the MSR Build Export Work File - Enhanced routine to process the data from the Build Monthly Work File.  You must select the same report selection number as you did for the Build Monthly Work File routine.  Be sure to update the month and year of the transmission file name to reflect the correct time period.

4. Run the MSR Export MSR File - Enhanced routine to create the transmission file on your PC.

5. By the 15th day following the end of the month, follow the MainePERS instructions to transmit the export file from your PC to the state.  To sign on, navigate to the www.mainepers.org website.
