NO VOUCHERING PENNIES
HEAB no longer accepts vouchering for cents (pennies, less than a dollar, coins, silver, etc.) If your grant is an odd dollar amount you should round up in the first semester and round down in the second. (If you are rounding Down-then UP it would be great if you could get that switched for 2008-09 - thanks!)

NEW DELIMITED FILES IN THE WORKS
ALL FILES YOU CURRENTLY RECEIVE WILL BE PRODUCED THROUGHOUT THE COMPLETE 2007-08 YEAR!!
Our new system provides much more information than our old system. We will be writing new notification lists that have one line per student and give more complete and accurate information.

We will be testing and working with you on these lists.

REPORT FILE TO BE ELIMINATED IN 2008-09 - A YEAR FROM NOW
We will no longer produce and distribute the report file (RPT###...) once 2007-08 processing is complete (a year from July). The delimited notification file contains more complete and accurate information, and this list can be configured by your offices to display whatever you feel is necessary.
