How to configure and run a header/detail receipt extract

The Header/Detail receipt extract will allow you to extract receipt information from SmartGov in a Header/Detail format compatible with some third party financial systems. *Note: Receipt number configuration cannot exceed 12 characters for jurisdictions with the Header/Detail receipt extract enabled.

Enable the header/detail extract

Contact client services to enable the job.

Configure payment type codes

1. Click on Administration from the navigation menu.

2. Click on Jurisdiction Setup and then select Lookup Values.

3. Click on Payment Type.
4. Enter values into the fields under External Payment Method that correspond to the Short Description fields as shown below. *Note: All reference payment methods can be used with the exception of option 9 - Multiple.

 

Configure fee codes/ external charge codes

The extract builds rows that require a charge code in order to successfully import the data into the third party financial system. This charge code corresponds to the SmartGov fee code 1:1 in most cases, but not all cases. The External Charge Code is an optional field on a SmartGov fee code. It is alphanumeric and must be 6 characters in length. The fee code must be given a new effective date in order to add an external charge code. Using the External Charge Code field will allow a jurisdiction to provide a charge code for the extract while retaining the actual FMS/GL Account number in the FMS/GL Account field on the Fee. *Note: The extract Job will error if SmartGov GL Account numbers exceed 6 characters and no external charge codes are configured. For more information about charge codes, reference your financial system or contact your financial system administrator.

 

For clients who currently have their FMS/GL accounts configured with Charge codes:

Extract behavior: The Charge Code in the extract file will be mapped to the External Charge Code on the SmartGov Fee Code when data is present. If the user does not have an External Charge Code configured on the fee code, the extract will use the Fund/GL account associated with the fee will be used as the charge code.
