Generate FNS-798 Statement Spreadsheet

Contents Show

The Generate FNS-798 Statement Spreadsheet screen is used to generate an FNS-798 Statement Spreadsheet (Output).

Data from the WIC food instrument and participant systems is summarized in a End of Month process to feed the FNS statements and management reports. If the data is inserted, updated or replaced via an import of data, the outcome of the end of month summarizing and the data reported will be affected. The State is responsible for the integrity of the data imported into the database. Monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc. reports need to be run based on the monthly hard close date. The data issues will need to be tracked back to the system that generated the import files.

Maintain the system in a timely manner for the FNS-798. Make sure the bank paid file is applied on a regular schedule. If the clinic data is imported, validate it is correct. Make sure the rebates are invoiced. Otherwise, the rebates estimated and rebates billed data will not have any data to report.

Make sure the end of month has been run for the FNS-798. Some data is dependent upon values that are set by the progress of the end of month module. For example, the issued participation counts by WIC category are no longer update after closeout. The monthly vs. annual closeout report format is determined based upon the September closeout. The September monthly report will not show as closed until the month of September is the closed month.

The redeemed obligation values will continue to be updated since the final report is submitted in March allowing for the lag in redemption to be processed. These spreadsheets are generated to quickly give you an idea of what that period looks like as it stands.

For detailed information about the system output generated, see FNS-798 Statement Spreadsheet (Output).
