For the 1099 Balance conversion, we are converting current calendar year balance totals, by College Business Unit, by Supplier, by 1099 Balance Class.  Here is a summary of the kind of information converted as it relates to bringing in these balances:

• Supplier ID: If a college has a balance for a Supplier that does not already exist in PeopleSoft, that Supplier is created. Suppliers are created by the colleges in Production; and are entered and approved by the SBCTC Agency. This login and training will be provided to individuals that have been identified by their college after the BPFG session. Supplier TIN is used to match Legacy Vendors to existing PeopleSoft Suppliers.
• Note: In cases where the given supplier(s) were not found or did not exist in Production, those supplier(s) will not be converted. Supplier Names may be different than legacy Supplier Names..
• Supplier Location: College-specific Supplier Locations are added in instances where a Supplier exists but is missing a Location for the identified college.
• Supplier Address: Provided address information is converted into a new Supplier created in PeopleSoft.  Address information is also converted in for existing Suppliers when that Supplier is missing a Location for the appropriate college.
• Supplier Withholding Status: Suppliers with a converted 1099 balance are flagged as 1099-eligible Suppliers.
• Supplier TIN: The Supplier’s TIN is converted into the Supplier Header as well as into the Supplier Location for the identified college.
• Supplier 1099 Balance: Supplier balance information is converted in by Withholding Class, e.g. 07.

In Canvas are conversion summary files for the provided conversion data indicating the lines that were converted. Supplier TIN’s are sensitive data so we have the link in Canvas that will bring you to CDR (ctcLink Data Repository) web page:on DG5 Finance Conversion Information on Canvas or DG6 Finance Conversion Information on Canvas

The Validation Results and Feedback are due NO LATER THAN on the last  day of the Data Validation Period. It is strongly recommended that issues  are reported EARLY in the validation period and are not held until the  end of the period. Validation Results and Feedback are for reporting  closure of the college's validation activities for the conversion cycle.  To view a list of the validation periods please refer to the timeline topic in the Data Validation Overview - Getting Started Guide.

Questions regarding these data validation activities and general questions or concerns about project data validation process can be addressed to the following contact person.

While the conversion approach for the data elements identified in Section 2.2, above, were followed, it’s possible that some provided data was not directly converted for the purpose of this conversion effort.  Additionally, it’s possible that some information will appear differently than the way it was provided.

Here is a list of these kinds of common items to keep in mind while you’re doing your data validation:

• PeopleSoft Supplier Names may be different than your provided Supplier Name.  This can happen when a balance is being converted into a Supplier ID that was already in PeopleSoft as part of the early Supplier conversion and cleanup efforts.  Again, Legacy Vendors are matched to PeopleSoft Suppliers using their TIN.
• Small errors in provided data may have resulted in that data getting adjusted slightly so that it could be loaded expediently.  Any such changes will be noted in your college’s Known Conversion Issues conversion summary document available on DG5 Finance Conversion Information on Canvas  or DG6 Finance Conversion Information on Canvas site.
• 1099 data may have resulted in a provided entry not being converted.  Any entry not converted will be noted in your college’s conversion summary with an explanation of why it couldn’t be converted.
• In cases where the given supplier(s) were not found or did not exist in Production, those supplier(s) will not be converted.

Each of the issues identified above presents a potential challenge that needs to be overcome for the final conversion run of 1099 data.  Go-live conversion planning discussions will be held in the months prior to go-live to establish standard procedures for dealing this these kinds of errors.

This section outlines the tasks necessary to perform data validation of the 1099 balance data provided by the colleges. The goal for 1099 balance conversion is to take provided Legacy balance information and convert it into equivalent PeopleSoft Suppliers. See note in the 1099 Balance Conversion Summary for circumstance when it may not match expectations. The conversion summary also outlines the key information from Legacy that was translated into PeopleSoft.  It’s possible that issues were encountered during this conversion process.  If any such issued occurred, these will be outlined in the Common Conversion Issues section below or if there were specific issues for an individual college or conversion cycle the on DG5 Finance Conversion Information on Canvas  or DG6 Finance Conversion Information on Canvas site will contain a known issues document. Please be sure to read through these issues prior to starting your data validation work in case any apply to your college’s data.
