Part 3. Submission Processing

Chapter 24. ISRP System

Section 202. Supervisory Operator's Manual

3.24.202  Supervisory Operator's Manual

3.24.202.1  (01-01-2009)
Overview

  1. The Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing System (ISRP) is used to process forms and remittances. Data is entered, processed, and fed to other IRS systems. This section provides instructions for the Supervisory Operators (SOPs) in managing workflow, accessing reports, and other information needed to administer ISRP.

3.24.202.1.1  (01-01-2009)
Internal Control

  1. The Budget and Accounting Act of 1950 required the heads of each department and agency to establish and maintain adequate systems of internal controls.

  2. In 1982, the act was amended with the Federal Manager's Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA) Public Law 97–255. This law requires:

    1. The Comptroller General to prescribe the internal accounting and administrative control standards.

    2. Each executive agency to conduct annual evaluations of its systems of control, using guidelines set by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director.

    3. Each executive agency to submit an annual statement to the President and Congress on the status of the agency's system of internal controls.

  3. Management has the primary responsibility for providing a system of internal controls. However, all personnel have a responsibility for understanding and ensuring internal controls are functioning as intended.

  4. To assist you in carrying out your internal control responsibilities, a condensed version (complete standards are shown in IRM 1283) of the key standards of internal control developed by the General Accounting Office are as follows:

    • Documentation. The operating of the function, system or project is clearly described in writing. Documentation describes what goes in the system, how it is processed, and what is to come out.

    • Recording of Transactions. Important events or transactions are promptly recorded and classified in accordance with documented procedures.

    • Execution of Transactions. Events or transactions are authorized and executed only by persons with authority to do so.

    • Separation of Duties. Key duties and responsibilities in authorizing, processing, recording, and reviewing transactions are separated among individuals.

    • Supervision. Qualified supervision is provided.

    • Competent Personnel. Managers and employees are knowledgeable, have professional integrity and receive adequate training to do the work assigned to them.

    • Accountability for Resources. Records are kept to show custody and use of resources. The records are periodically reviewed to determine reliability.

    • Audit Resolution. Agreed to recommendations resulting from Internal Audit or General Accounting Office are acted on.

  5. Go over the above standards and think about how they apply to your area of responsibility.

    1. If you see weaknesses, make changes. If you cannot make the change, recommend it to your manager.

    2. Look for indicators of control weaknesses during Quality Improvement Projects in which you participate.

    3. Consider the results of reviews that are performed in your area.

    4. Consider reviews or reports done by you, your manager, a review team, Internal Audit, or the General Accounting Office.

    5. Look at the conclusions and consider how application of the internal control standards might correct a problem.

  6. The objective is to maintain a reasonable balance in the Service's systems of internal control. Properly applied, internal controls improve effectiveness and make work easier.

      4. Select OK to end session.

  2. Accessing the EOP applications as a SOP will prevent operator statistics from accumulating for incentive pay.

3.24.202.2.2  (01-01-2009)
Setting and Clearing Key Verification Criteria

  1. This section provides instructions for Key Verification.

3.24.202.2.2.1  (01-01-2009)
Levels of Key Verification

  1. The ISRP system has two levels of KV which can be performed on a block of work. The system default is for key verification of the block header only. However, as a SOP, you can set additional criteria for KV (referred to as "Full KV" ). This criteria includes such items as program number, operator id., ABC, batch number, etc. See the table below for allowable combinations. When additional criteria are set for KV by the SOP, the selection of fields for KV is determined by the program—specific Program Requirement Packages, (PRP 741). Allowable KV criteria options are as follows:

    Field Name Blocks Requiring Full KV
    Program Number Blocks with a specific program number.
    Program Number and Operator ID Blocks with a specific program number entered by a specific operator.
    Program Number and Batch Number Blocks in a batch for a specific program number. This can be used instead of entering all the ABCs present for that particular batch.
    Operator ID Blocks entered by a specific operator.
    Alphanumeric Block Control (ABC) Blocks with a specific ABC associated with the current SOP. Note: The ABC option cannot be combined with any other option.

  2. A separate KV indicators file is maintained for each SOP so that the criteria you set impact only those blocks for which you are responsible. You create the KV indicators for your file when you set the indicators. They remain as set until you update the file by adding additional KV indicators or by clearing the KV indicators and setting new indicators.

  3. After KV is complete and the response "ALL SECTIONS VERIFIED" is on the screen, before you exit with <F9>, you can press <F2> to see Document 00. Press <F5> to find and view the last document in the block.

3.24.202.2.2.2  (01-01-2009)
Setting the Criteria

  1. You access the options to set KV criteria through Controls→Set KV Options→Set KV Indicators on the Supervisory Functions window. The Set KV Indicators dialog box appears as shown below:

    Figure 3.24.202-2

    This image is too large to be displayed in the current screen. Please click the link to view the image.

    Set KV Indicators Dialog Box

  2. To set the KV criteria:

    Task Steps
    Set KV Criteria 1. Select Controls→Set KV Options→Set KV Indicators on the Supervisory Functions window. (The Set KV Indicators dialog box appears.)
    2. Enter the desired set of criteria. For example, enter a program number, user ID., etc. The system will not allow you to enter combinations which are not specified.
    3. Select Start . Your KV indicators file is updated, and the status says "done" .
    4. Select OK . The dialog box closes

  3. Setting KV indicators should be done before the shift begins when fewer EOPs are logged on to the system. Clearing KV indicators should be done at the end of the shift to minimize impact to the SOP's KV file. Altering KV criteria when EOPs are logged on to the system may cause blocks to go to invalid status.

3.24.202.2.2.3  (01-01-2009)
Viewing and Selectively Clearing KV Indicator

  1. The clear KV indicators dialog box gives the SOP the choice of clearing all set indicators or clearing a selected indicator. The selected indicator must match exactly the previously set indicator.

  2. To clear a selected indicator, take the following steps:

    Task Steps
    Clear a selected KV Indicator 1. Select Controls→Set KV Options→Clear KV Indicators on the Supervisory Functions window.
    2. The Clear KV Indicators dialog box appears.
    3. Enter data into one or more fields that exactly match the previously set indicator:

    1. Program Number

    2. Program Number and Operator ID

    3. Program Number and Batch Number

    4. Operator ID

    5. Alpha numeric Block Control
    4. Select the Clear Selected button. Your KV indicators file is updated.
    5. If an invalid combination is entered, an error message will appear.
    Viewing KV Criteria 1. Select Control → Set KV Options →Clear KV Indicators → View Indicators button
    2. The view KV Indicators report is displayed in a dialog box.
    3. Each row corresponds to a currently set indicator.

3.24.202.2.3  (01-01-2009)
Purging and Releasing Blocks

  1. Occasionally, blocks in ISRP will become "locked" , that is, the EOP cannot enter any data or RESUME original entry of the block. Two situations which will cause a locked block are:

    • The system experiences some type of failure while the EOP is working the block.

    • The EOP exits the data entry application "ungracefully" by not logging off appropriately using the <F9> key.

  2. Releasing a block makes a block available for further processing. It does not delete any data or the DLN.

  3. Purging a block removes all block data from ISRP. Only the OPSTATS data related to the EOP who entered the block will remain. This is the only way to purge a DLN for re-use within the system. When a block is rejected, the DLN is not immediately made available for re-use. It will be available for re-use after End of Shift is run. Only this Supervisory Function, "Purge Block" option, makes the DLN available for re-use. Extreme care must be taken in purging and releasing blocks to ensure that the block is in the desired status after this process.

  4. The following table will help you to determine the status of a block within the ISRP system. This table will also help in determining the status of blocks on the age list. The numbers refer to the related block status number. Numbers are provided so that the correct number/status can be reported to the Systems Administrator if you have trouble purging/releasing the block. "block_status_num" is the title of the column in the ISRP database.

    Block Status Definitions

    block_status_num Status Definition
    0 IN_OE Block is in Original Entry. A block header has been created, and an EOP in currently performing OE.
    1 OE_PARTIAL Block was in Original Entry, but the EOP exited the block before it was completed.
    2 OE_COMPLETE EOP has completed work in original entry. Block is awaiting KV.
    3 IN_KV Block is in Key Verification. EOP is currently performing KV.
    4 KV_PARTIAL Block was in KV, but the EOP exited the block before it was completed.
    5 IN_BE Block edit is currently being performed on the block.
    6 FORMAT_PENDING Block has completed KV and is ready for formatting.
    7 IN_FORMAT Continuous formatting is being performed on the block. Formatting prepares the block for acceptance by downstream IRS processes (such as GMF).
    8 FORMAT_COMPLETE Completed and formatted block is awaiting End of Shift processing.
    9 IN_EXPORT Block is being put on "good tape" .
    10 PROCESSING_COMPLETE Block has been processed to "good tape" .
    11 BLOCK_DELETED Block was removed from good tape.
    12 INVALID Block did not post to good tape due to system or other problem.
    13 BLK_REJ_AT_TRANSPORT RRPS block was rejected during transport processing.

  5. Blocks which are in the following statuses cannot be purged or released:

    • IN_EXPORT

    • PROCESSING_COMPLETE

    • BLOCK_DELETED

    • INVALID

    • BLK_REJ_AT_TRANSPORT

3.24.202.2.3.1  (01-01-2009)
Purge Block

  1. Purging a block removes all information from ISRP, including the DLN. OPSTATS data will be retained. Two types of data can be purged: production and training.

    Note:

    Never purge training (OEK) data.

  2. Blocks in the following statuses cannot be purged:

    • IN_OE

    • IN_KV

    • IN_BE

    If a block in any of these statuses becomes locked, use the Release Block option to release it.

  3. The Purge Block option is accessed through the Supervisory Functions window under "CONTROLS" .

3.24.202.2.3.3  (01-01-2009)
Removing a Ghostblock

  1. A ghostblock may be created when an EOP exits ISRP abnormally while entering the block header. This can be caused by a power failure or an "ungraceful exit" . This leaves empty blocks on the workstation and prevents users from accessing the ISRP applications. It also prevents the ABC/SOP combination from being re-used.

  2. To remove a ghostblock, take the following actions:

    Task Actions
    Remove a ghostblock 1. Obtain ABC and SOP of the block.
    2. Select Controls →Remove Ghostblock from the Supervisory Function.

Exhibit 3.24.202-1  (01-01-2009)
Q & A for Supervisors

Q1. What functions are performed by the Supervisor?

The ISRP system has supervisory functions that are performed by the supervisor. The duties include: monitoring work in progress, managing workflow and generating and processing reports.

Q2. Where are these functions?

Upon logging on to ISRP, the SOP is presented with the Supervisory Functions window. From this window, the SOP performs all the functions by using the pulldown options.

Q3. What reports can a supervisor get?

A supervisor can retrieve eight (8) different reports from the report menu. Reports dealing with operator statistics, training, batch status blocks under the control of the supervisor. See IRM 3.24.202.5.3 for additional information.

Q4. What do I do with these reports?

Some of the reports deal with workflow. Supervisor can use these reports to make assessment of the work in progress and how their unit/employees are processing the work

Other reports deal with individual operator efficiency. Supervisor can use the reports to make assessment of how different individuals process the work.

Q5. What are controls?

The Control pull-down options are used to release a block stuck in an incorrect status, to purge a block from the ISRP system, to set the KV indicators that select which blocks require Key Verification and to remove ghostblock.

Q6. What is monitoring work in progress?

A SOP uses Unicenter Remote Control to view EOP workstations as a way of monitoring work in progress. This capability allows the user to ensure that work is performed according to IRS standards and to identify and address potential problem areas before they escalate. Only to be used in training.

Q7. Is there any other source of Information?

Lockheed Martin published an Integrated Submission and Remittance Processing (ISRP) System User’s Guide Document Number 97-209 at the following web page: http://isrp.web.irs.gov/documents/533UG.pdf

Q8. Are there any other training resource available?Training book 2312a (SP) and 2312b (RP) "System Guide for Manager and Work Leaders" .
