Background

  1. The Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) System transcribes and formats data from paper returns/documents/vouchers for input into the Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) and other systems by key entry operators. It also captures check images for archiving. Transaction Management System (TMS) is a Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) product that is an integral part of ISRP.

MUST ENTER Fields

  1. Some fields require entry of data. These Fields are referred to as MUST ENTER Fields. They are indicated in the Transcription Operation Sheets by the presence of stars (★★★★★★). See IRM 3.24.37.4.6, MUST ENTER Fields, for procedures related to MUST ENTER Fields.

3.24.7.2.5 (01-01-2015)

Required Sections

  1. Original Entry (OE)-these are one section documents.

  2. Key Verification (KV) -all data entered from these documents by Original Entry (OE) must be verified.

3.24.7.2.6 (01-01-2015)

Name Control Check

  1. If a document is entered with a Name Control (NC) rather than a Check Digit (CD), the system will access the Enhanced-Entity Index File (E-EIF) to determine if the account is already established on the Master File. This procedure is being done to reduce the number of unpostables.

  2. As soon as the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) field is entered, the system will access E-EIF. During this time, screen activity will occur and no entry can be made into the terminal.

  3. When the check has been completed, the next prompt will appear and entry may continue.

    • If the account is located, the CD will appear in the CD field on the screen. The TIN/CD/NC fields will bypass verification.

    • If the account is not located, the NC will remain on the screen as entered.

    • Error Correction: If you determine that an error was made in keying the TIN or the NC after the E-EIF has been accessed, you cannot access the NC or Social Security Number fields to make a correction. Because the E-EIF has also identified an error and the error indicators have been set, you must press the <F9> key to abandon entry. Answer Yes to the question and then press <F4> to return. Re-enter the serial number, then re-key the document in error to make a correction. At this point, the E-EIF will be re-accessed with no error indicators set. This procedure affects all forms.
