FESI Development and Production

Last Updated:

When an Agency decides to use FESI, it must contact NFC’s Customer Support staff. An implementation pay period is agreed upon by the Agency and NFC. Testing must be performed prior to implementation to ensure that the Agency FESI and PPS are compatible.

Testing is done in the development environment. The test period is determined by NFC and the Agency. Testing is performed only on the transmission process for T&A files. Testing for position, personnel, and payroll is more extensive and parallels the production environment.

NFC’s Customer Support staff are available to provide guidelines and assist Agencies with interface processes, including transmitting JCL, security access, etc.
