We will be configuring the translator to run a two pass import. The first pass will be used to load and configure the Institutional, Carrier, and submitter data within the system. The second pass will load the X12 837 file into the system.

1) Upon installation you will be asked if you are going to use a Solo or Group database.

- Group is for practices that receive their payments and file their taxes under an Incorporation. In this tutorial we will be selecting Group Practice.

Say Yes to any questions.

After the program restart several buttons will appear.

3) To run the conversion simply click on the picture of the person running. When the job is complete click on the picture of the magnifying glass with the X12 on it.

When the job is complete the X12 837 file can be viewed using the X12 viewer.

The X12 837 file created is called I0000001.TCF. It will be located in the \C1A3F297 folder.

The EXAMPLE.CMD is the command/script file for the conversion.

The C1.BCU file is the Basic Conversion Utility Map and is the first pass import mapping. The import/source file defined in the configuration section of the this file is a file called INITLOAD.DBF.

INITLOAD.DBF is a single record database file that can be modified using any DBF editor.

The C1.ACU file is the ANSI X12 Conversion Utility Map and is the import mapping. The import/source file is defined in the configuration section of the this file. In our C1.ACU file we have the SOURCEFILE=X5.DAT. The X5.DAT file is the X12 837 file that we will be importing.

To use your own file copy over the existing X5.DAT file or change the name of the source file in the C1.ACU. If you change the name it is recommended that you keep the name of the file 8 characters or under and that you use a three character extension. Do not use path or drives in the SOURCEFILE= file name. Make sure that the file you specify is in the \C1A3F297 Folder.

The C1.INI is a file that may be used to control processing and purge functions.

The C1.CFG is the outbound X12 mapping file.
