The following settings affect Claims Reporting:
• If Attendance Factor is selected as an option for the Edit Check report, each site’s Attendance Factor setting will be used to report Eligible counts. The Attendance Factor field is located on the School Details tab (Admin > Schools > School Details tab).
• Check the CEP checkbox on the School Details tab if your school has qualified.
• If you have marked a school as CEP, go to Admin > Definitions/Setup > Community > CEP Claiming Percentages and input the Free and Reduced percentages.
Note: For patrons in California who use the Child Nutrition Information & Payment System (CNIPS) claims export, access the School Details tab for the Central Office and enter the number in the CNIPS Customer Number field. This field appears when California is selected in the State field on that tab.
The following reports support your monthly Claim:
• Basic Claims
• Basic Claims Simplified
• Edit Check
• Meal Counts
A daily review of the Edit Check and/or Meal Counts reports and correcting any errors immediately will ensure that the Basic Claim is accurate at the end of the month. To access these reports, go to Reports > Standard and expand POS in the left pane.
