The SACRRA submission Process
- Receives onboarding documentation from the client.
- Submits the data documentation to ALG Management, along with an MFT request.
- ALG Management sets up the necessary infrastructure and shares the SRN (presumably a reference number) with Sales.
- ALG Management provides the API and SACRRA Layout to the client or their LMS provider for development purposes.
- Sales instructs the client to submit three daily test files and one monthly test file.
- Data Forensics tests the UAT (User Acceptance Testing) files and gives sign-off once satisfied.
- The client is then informed to submit test files via integration for industry testing, which requires sign-off from four bureaus and SACRRA.
- After receiving industry sign-off, the client is informed to begin live data submissions.
- Experian monitors these submissions and notifies the client of any data quality issues. The data team provides support and answers related to data.
