MONTHLY LOADFILE NAME CHANGE



To improve the BCR monitoring process a separate download will now be sent for each month, including April and July.

The file is now named YYYY-PP.txt
YYYY = Financial Year (Internal system yearcode) and PP = Period number

For example the July 2009-10 Loadfile will be named 2010-04.txt

You must ensure your accounts have been upgraded to version 4.5 before processing the July download (2010-04.txt). The upgrade will be released on the 17th August. Do not rename the file to Loadfile.txt.
