CE (Contracting Entity) File Preparation and Upload Instructions

The preparation, upload, download, ftp and processing of the CE requirement are covered in this section.  This is a requirement that began at the end of 2013 and one that the programmers at Systems Design have created procedures and programs to automate this process as much as possible.

The programs and procedures listed above will be covered in several tabs associated with this page.  Some pages associated with the tabs will contain information sheets which you can download and follow, others will contain tutorials in the form of slide shows of the various screens.  Most users of this system have been processing Direct Certification which will have required the utilization of programs such as Hyperterminal 6.3 and the .ftp program provided by Systems Design.  Never the less, we will make reference to these programs and the steps to prepare these programs in this section with the knowledge that you will use these programs working with the CE files just as you would the DC files.

Covered under this section will be the following steps:

Downloading and installation of Hyperterminal 6.3
Preparation of Hyperterminal 6.3 to download files
Downloading and installation of the Systems Design .ftp program
Entering the CE ID in the District Masterfile
Uploading the CE upload file and downloading the CD return file
Transferring CE return file to the child nutrition server
Processing the CE return file
Running various CD reports (these are the same as the DC reports)


It is recognized that there are a number of steps required to complete this requirement. It would also be noted that once the steps are accomplished then the procedure is not as complicated as first perceived.  The automation of this requirement may take a matter of minutes when learned as opposed to a much longer effort if done by hand.

It should be noted that you probably have previously completed steps one through four in the above list and that you will most likely start with the fifth step which is uploading and downloading the CD file. 

Please contact our software support office via the contact form if you have questions about CE processing.
