100% Key Verification Requirements

For Programs 15501 and 45501, Form 3753 Manual Refund Posting Voucher, identified by a TC 840 in the Batch Header, Key Verification (KV) must be set at 100% prior to a Clerk entering the batch of work due to the high volume of errors and the fallout rate for the schedule number (SCH#).

Exceptions & meaning →

Setting and Clearing Key Verification Criteria

This section provides instructions for Key Verification.

Exceptions & meaning →

Levels of Key Verification

The ISRP system allows two levels of KV on a block of work. The system default is for key verification of the block header only. However, as a SOP, you can set additional criteria for KV (referred to as "Full KV" ). This criteria includes such items as program number, operator ID., ABC, batch number, etc. See the table below for allowable combinations. When additional criteria are set for KV by the SOP, the selection of fields for KV is determined by the program—specific Program Requirement Packages, (PRP 741). Allowable KV criteria options are as follows:

Field Name

Blocks Requiring Full KV

Program Number

Blocks with a specific program number.

Program Number and Operator ID

Blocks with a specific program number entered by a specific operator.

Program Number and Batch Number

Blocks in a batch for a specific program number. This can be used instead of entering all the ABCs present for that batch.

Operator ID

Blocks entered by a specific operator.

Alphanumeric Block Control (ABC)

Blocks with a specific ABC associated with the current SOP.

Exceptions & meaning →

Note:

Do not combine the ABC option with any other option.

The system maintains a separate KV indicators file for each SOP so that the criteria you set impacts only those blocks for which you are responsible. You create the KV indicators for your file when you set the indicators. They remain as set until you update the file by adding additional KV indicators or by clearing the KV indicators and setting new indicators.

After KV is complete and the response "ALL SECTIONS VERIFIED" is on the screen, before you exit with , you can press to see document 00. Press to find and view the last document in the block.

Exceptions & meaning →

Setting the Criteria

You access the options to set KV criteria through Controls→Set KV Options→Set KV Indicators on the Supervisory Functions window. The Set KV Indicators dialog box appears as shown below:

Figure 3.24.202-2

Please click here for the text description of the image.

To set the KV criteria:

Task

Steps

Set KV Criteria

Select Controls→Set KV Options→Set KV Indicators on the Supervisory Functions window. (The Set KV Indicators dialog box appears).

Enter the desired set of criteria. For example, enter a program number, user ID., etc. The system will not allow you to enter combinations which are not specified.

Select Start. Your KV indicators file is updated, and the status says "done" .

Select OK. The dialog box closes.

Altering KV criteria when EOPs are logged on to the system may cause blocks to go to invalid status. Therefore, set KV indicators before the shift begins when fewer EOPs are logged on to the system. Clear KV indicators at the end of the shift to minimize impact to the SOP's KV file.

Exceptions & meaning →

Viewing and Selectively Clearing Key Verification (KV) Indicator

The clear KV indicators dialog box gives the SOP the choice of clearing all set indicators or clearing a selected indicator. The selected indicator must match exactly the previously set indicator.

To clear a selected indicator, take the following steps:

Task

Steps

Program Number and Batch Number

Operator ID

Alpha Block Control

Select the Clear Selected button. Your KV indicators file is updated.

Entering an invalid combination, causes an error message to appear.

Viewing KV Criteria

Select Control → Set KV Options →Clear KV Indicators → View Indicators button.

The view KV Indicators report is displayed in a dialog box.

Each row corresponds to a currently set indicator.

Exceptions & meaning →

Purging and Releasing Blocks

Occasionally, blocks in ISRP will become "locked" . That is, the EOP cannot enter any data or RESUME original entry of the block. Two situations which will cause a locked block are:

The system experiences some type of failure while the EOP is working the block.

The EOP exits the data entry application "ungracefully" by not logging off appropriately using the key.

Releasing a block makes a block available for further processing. It does not delete any data or the Document Locator Number (DLN). If the block Release does not work, try the Delete Local Production Data option (IRM 3.24.202.2.4.4).

Purging a block removes all block data from ISRP. Only the OPSTATS data related to the EOP who entered the block will remain. This is the only way to purge a DLN for re-use within the system. When a block is rejected, the DLN is not immediately made available for re-use. It will be available for re-use after End of Shift is run. Only this Supervisory Function, "Purge Block" option, makes the DLN available for re-use. Extreme care must be taken in purging and releasing blocks to ensure that the block is in the desired status after this process.

If a "locked" block is not corrected by Release or Delete Local Production Data, try the Purge option. If still unable to resolve the "locked" block, open a ticket as described in IRM 3.24.202.1.9 (3), being sure to include the service center, the action requested (purge from ISRP), the block information (program, ABC, SOP, DLN), and a contact name and phone number.

The following table will help you to determine the status of a block within the ISRP system. This table will also help in determining the status of blocks on the age list. The numbers refer to the related block status number. Numbers are provided so that the correct number/status can be reported to the Systems Administrator (SA) if you have trouble purging/releasing the block. "block_status_num" is the title of the column in the ISRP database.

SuperSOP Utility

The SuperSOP utility provides ISRP supervisors with the ability to generate a batch status report in various formats. The report will query the inventory database for batches, status, and the EOP data. The report can be sorted in a variety of formats. This utility may be used as needed but should be checked to ensure blocks are in the anticipated status. This report opens in a browser window and is a "snapshot" of the data at the time the report was selected. To see updated information, you must refresh the report by clicking "View Report" again or pressing the "refresh" rounded arrow on the toolbar, or pressing + .

Description

Procedure

Start SuperSOP and generate the available reports.

Select Windows key → ISRP folder → SuperSOP. Enter SmartID PIN when prompted.

Select the format of the report you would like to have data sorted.

Click "View Report" .

Exit SuperSOP when done.

Close the tab or close the browser window to close all tabs.

Locked blocks will appear in the last status before they were locked.

A SOP purge removes a block immediately.

The SuperSop utility also has a menu option to list Operators by Short ID. This generates a report of the current Short IDs in use, the profile associated with the Short ID, as well as the SOP assigned and the login (SEID).

Questions & Answers (Q&A) for Supervisors

Answer

  1. What functions are performed by the Supervisor?

The ISRP system has supervisory functions that are performed by the supervisor. The duties include monitoring work in progress, managing workflow, and generating and processing reports.

  1. Where are these functions?

From the Supervisory Functions window, the SOP performs all the functions by using the drop-down options.

  1. What reports can a supervisor get?

A supervisor can retrieve eight different reports from the report menu. Reports dealing with operator statistics, training, batch status blocks under the control of the supervisor. See also IRM 3.24.202.4, Management Reports, for additional information.

  1. What do I do with these reports?

Some of the reports deal with workflow. Supervisors can use these reports to make an assessment of the work in progress and how their unit/employees are processing the work.

  1. What are controls?

The Control drop-down options are used to release a block stuck in an incorrect status, to purge a block from the ISRP system, to set the KV indicators that select which blocks require Key Verification, to remove a ghostblock, and to delete local production data when data needs to be deleted from a workstation when other methods have failed.

  1. What User’s Short IDs can be assigned?

When assigning a User’s Short ID in BEARS, in SuperSop, select the Operators by Short ID option and click View Report. This will give a listing of all assigned Short IDs already in use. Each user must have a unique Short ID, do not request a Short ID already in use.
