Chapter 14. EP/EO Determination System (EDS) Employee Plans User Manual

Section 5. Inventory Control System (ICS)

7.14.5  Inventory Control System (ICS)

7.14.5.1  (01-31-2006)
Overview

  1. EP determination applications are transcribed (entered) through Data Transcription Subsystem (DTS) ( IRM 7.14.2,Data Entry). An inventory record is created in the Inventory Control Subsystem (ICS) and a unique case control number is generated.

  2. The Case Number is used to update the case status and may be used to generate development and closing letters in the Letter Generation System (LGS) if the application request has not been assigned a DLN. The Case Number is located on Form 8626,EP Transmittal Sheet and written on the EP Determination Input Sheet (attached to the front of the case folder). The application is assembled in a case file and as the case moves through the pipeline the status is updated in ICS to reflect where the case file is at each stage of the process.

  3. Each employee who uses ICS must have a five digit specialist number to access the system. Each ID is given a function code. The function code describes the duties the ID (employee) will be permitted to perform in EDS, such as, managerial, clerical or specialist who works cases. A specialist ID will also serve as their specialist number.

    1. Cases can only be assigned to an ID whose function code is a specialist.

    2. Any person acting for a manager or secretary/clerk must have their ID function code updated to a manager or secretary/clerk to approve case closings. While their function code is set to a manager or secretary/clerk cases may not be assigned to that ID until their function code is set back to a specialist. The Functional Coordinator must update the function code.

  4. Cases may be assigned in the Query/Update Master Record screen or the Multiple Assignment screen. Cases updated to review can only be updated in the Query/Update Master Record screen.

  5. When a final disposition is made on a case (favorable or unfavorable determination) closing data is entered. This data is electronically transferred to the Master File Pipeline System (MPS) of EDS in the service center to update the Employee Plans Master File (EPMF) and the Management Information Subsystem (MIS) in the Detroit Computer Center.

  6. Screens are available to update the status, enter closing data, print the closing sheet and approve the closing.

  7. Acceptable entries for each screen item are provided in the exhibits to this text. See the following exhibits to use each screen in ICS.

    1. Inventory Control System Main Menu — Exhibit 7.14.5–2

    2. Case Assignment/Reassignment Screen — Exhibit 7.14.5–3

    3. EP Query/Update Master Record Screen — Exhibits 7.14.5–4 and 7.14.5–5

    4. Case History Screen — Exhibit 7.14.5–6

    5. Approval of Case Closings — Exhibit 7.14.5–7

    6. Print Closing Screen — Exhibit 7.14.5–8

7.14.5.2  (04-15-2003)
Case History

  1. A case history is created for each action taken on a case. The actions may include updating data entered during DTS, entering closing data and updating the status, etc. Each of these actions generates a record containing the type of update and which login performed the update.

  2. The case history may be viewed by entering the case number in the Query/Update Master screen. Once the record is displayed the F6 function key is used to view the case history information.

7.14.5.3  (04-15-2003)
Closing Approval

  1. Each case must have a proposed closing code and closing data entered. The proposed closing is subject to management approval and to the mandatory and sample review, Tax Exempt Quality Measurement System (TEQMS), selection criteria.

  2. If the case is not selected or required to go to Quality Assurance, the case number will be entered in the Case Approval screen by the manager or secretary/clerk. This screen may only be accessed by a login that has a function code of a manager or a secretary/clerk.

7.14.5.4  (04-15-2003)
Letter Generation System

  1. The Letter Generation System (LGS) is accessed through the ICS Main Menu. See IRM 7.14.4,Letter Generation, for the LGS use.

7.14.5.5  (04-15-2003)
Screen Operations

  1. In a typical session, the following interaction takes place:

    1. The system displays a screen by entering the Case Number. The data entered from DTS will be displayed in each of the appropriate items. The data should be verified for accuracy and any blank fields that are required should be filled in.

    2. The arrow and other keys can be used to skip over items.

    3. The same keys should be used when an input field is not completely filled so that the cursor is positioned in the next input item.

    4. The F1 and/or F2 key is depressed when all desired items have been verified or entered.

    5. The system will display "WAIT" message at the bottom right corner of the screen to indicate that it is processing the input and that no other key should be hit until the "WAIT" sign is turned off.

    6. The system performs validity and consistency checks to ensure that the data entered is correct.

    7. If an error is detected, the terminal will beep, a reverse video error message will be displayed on the last line of the screen, and the cursor is positioned at the field in error. The data should be re-entered correctly and the appropriate key depressed. This error correction procedure will be repeated until all errors have been corrected.

7.14.5.6  (04-15-2003)
Output of the Inventory Control System

  1. EDS Inventory Control generates Form 8671,Employee Plan Case Closing Sheet.

    1. The case closing sheets are printed and included in the case file, when the specialist submits the case to the manager for closing approval.

    2. The manager will verify the data on the closing sheet and initial in the space provided their approval of the closing.

7.14.5.6.1  (04-15-2003)
Case Closing

  1. The Case Closing Sheet, Form 8326, should be printed immediately after entering the closing data. The purpose of the case control sheets is to display the information sent to the MPS and provide a document where the manager can initial off on the approved closing.

  2. An example of the EP Case Closing Sheet is found in Exhibit 7.14.5–9.

The CS-Coordinator must either place the bracket (]) in the correct position of the name or enter a Y to signal the batch program to send a name update to master file. THIS MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED WHEN THE SERVICE CENTER REPORTS A DIFFERENT NAME CONTROL ON MASTER FILE FROM THE NAME CONTROL ON THE EDS CASE BEING ESTABLISHED.
