This release corrects the Add Load process to ensure ISIR data is properly loaded into the appropriate fields for the 2026–2027 Aid Year. Due to OBBBA changes introduced mid-processing year, FINANCIER must now support two distinct ISIR formats. The previously delivered code incorrectly incorporated new fields into the file definition for the original ISIR format, resulting in misplaced or missing NSLDS data when processing “old” format ISIRs.
In addition, this release corrects the evaluation of the WF-AD-SOURCE field, which is used to route processing within the Add Load process based on the incoming data format. This correction also restores proper access to the Expand (F9) functionality on the Add screen, allowing users to access the Add Compare screen as intended. We've also corrected the ability to do an online purge from the Student Activity Summary Screen.
Note: We previously omitted an important detail regarding the 59 fields excluded from the prior release. During the Add Load process, if any of these field values exceed 999999, the values will now be reported on the CMPRT02 report. In such cases, the Add Load process will populate the affected fields with a value of 999999, and that same value will be reflected on the associated maps.
Additionally, an issue was identified in the logic responsible for passing the list of fields to the Add Load reporting process. This issue is addressed in the current release.
During our scans we noted that ad-source is in WFCFIRPB. However, this module was a one-time utility program for a 2017-18 update. It's not believed that this program is currently being used.
Finally, with respect to the 59 large fields that were previously defined as 6-byte fields and have now been expanded to 15 bytes, FINANCIER continues to enforce a maximum value of 999999. However, the previously delivered code did not properly account for the introduction of cent values within these fields.
It is our understanding that both COD and ISIR reporting for the 2026–2027 aid year will continue to be processed in whole dollars (see graphic below). As a result, the FINANCIER NSLDS Eligibility Processing Updates did not correctly truncate the cents portion of these expanded fields.
This modification will extract positions 8–13 from the 15-byte fields and load those values into the corresponding 6-byte FINANCIER fields.
This item is required at all client sites.
