Report Data by File Upload

Upload Report Data for Single or Multiple Contracts by File Upload

You can upload your data into the FAS Sales Reporting system using an Excel spreadsheet or a Special character delimited file.

The Excel template can be downloaded from the Report Data menu by selecting Download Template or by clicking on FAS SRP Excel Template, located at the bottom of the FAS SRP portal page under the Data Submissions section. The specification for the special character delimited file (.csv) is available on the FAS SRP page.

Note: If reporting multiple contracts, all contracts must be on the same Reporting Period.

The Excel template contains the same required fields as those found in the Report Data by Form Entry page. The Report Data by File Upload feature allows you to enter data for one or multiple contracts at once. The specification for the special character delimited file will be available for the line items in Column A, followed by the Order Number. You must repeat this information for each contract and order that you want to enter using the Excel template.

Note: Please choose the appropriate tab you will be reporting the contracts under:

You will need to report sales for the delinquent months before you can proceed with reporting for the current month.

    Caution

    If you receive the status of 'Rejected' on your file upload, or an email with your submission status as 'Rejected', go back to the File Upload page to review the reason for rejection. You can then make adjustments to your file to address the data issues, and after you save the updated file, you can try to upload it again.
