TAS/BETC is a required field. You must have at least one TAS/BETC for a payment or schedule.
If the TAS/BETC field is not completed in a manually typed schedule, SPS will not save the schedule. If the TAS/BETC is not provided on a 440 file you are trying to import, the import will fail.
As each schedule is created or imported, SPS checks the TAS/BETC information against the Shared Accounting Module (SAM) file. If the TAS/BETC is not valid according to that day’s SAM file validation, SPS won't save or import the schedule.
A payment must have at least one TAS/BETC. It may have up to 100.
A schedule must also have at least one TAS/BETC. It may have up to 1,000.
