Overview:  This report is a summarized report of all data from PeopleSoft (PS) that has passed through edits for a specific month.  The report is the combined table from all TBL tables from each module (review the Overview document for further understanding of this topic).

The AFRS report is submitted to the Office of Financial Management (OFM) through the Axeway process.  The data incorporated in this file contains only valid entries; all others remain in files called error report 1 and error report 2. (refer to the manual Overview of the AFRS CEMLI for further detail).

This report can be run as many times as necessary; but once submitted to OFM it should not be run again unless the file is protected by an archive copy (more decisions of business practices are to follow).
