Front-End System Interface (FESI)

Transmission Files

There are four types of data included in the transmission files sent to NFC:

• Position
• Payroll/Personnel Documents
• T&A
• Conversion Data

A FESI transmission file consists of job control language (JCL); a data record; and in the case of position, personnel, and payroll files, a header record. These files consist of a 500-character position management system file, a 3450-character personnel action file, and a 3450-character payroll document file. The file for T&A processing includes the JCL and a 960-character record consisting of 12 transmission cards for each employee’s T&A report.

A conversion data file consists of 80-character current data records and a 244-character year-to-date record. For more information, see Conversion Data.
