2.2 Adding Appeal Codes to Aquirt

Updated on

In order for AQ2 to recognized scanlines properly, we need to import the appeal codes prior to processing checks.

These codes are typically found in a post production / output file and are can be named a variety of things.  These files are found on the Grizzard FTP site.

Make a CSV file of only the Appeal Codes

1. Locate the Scanline column

When Grizzard provides the output file, they don't have a column specifically for the Appeal Code so you have to take the scanline column and create a appeal column.

Locate the Scanline column

2. You will copy the Scanline column into a new worksheet. And Click Text to Column

5. Select Remove Duplicates

It will ask you which columns - if there is no other data, you can just click finish.  However if you have another column (like you added Kit ID) then you will want to make sure you select the column with the appeal codes to remove the duplicates from.

Select Remove Duplicates

6. Remove any funky appeal codes + Remove Column Header Row + Ensure a generic is available

7. Add a descriptor + Kit ID

Keep in mind the Appeal Code is the first column, descriptor is second, and Kit Id is third column.  There are NO header rows (i.e. labels)

Kit ID is in the original report

Add a descriptor + Kit ID

8. Save as CSV file to Y drive or other appropriate location

Files can be located at:

Y:\AQ2 - Donation Processing Program\KeyCodes and Appeal Codes

Add file to the H Import Folder Drive

Note: Make sure file is .csv or file will not import
