FILE SEND
What is File Send?
The File Send function is designed to allow users to submit files they have prepared in accordance with the funds requirements. During the File Send process you simply attach your file and submit.

Do I have to fill in all the details in the form?
The forms have been designed to highlight which fields are mandatory. If all mandatory fields are completed the form can be submitted. We need this information to identify the file you will send. We use some information (eg. number of records) to check if the file was transferred successfully.

Non-mandatory fields are optional.

What kind of file do I have to send?
Only files with the following extensions can be sent (CSV, HTM, PDF, TXT, XLS, XLSX, DAT, OUT, DOC, DOCX). There are some forms that must comply with the funds guidelines for that particular file. Refer to the Tools section of the site for more details on the appropriate file formats.

How do I know where to send my payment?
At the last step in the data transfer process a confirmation page is displayed. This page should contain all the necessary payment information. If this page does not provide the details you need, please call the administrator on 1300 142 708 or click on the Contact Us link above to obtain the necessary information.

DATA ENTRY
What is Data Entry?
The Data Entry function is designed to allow users to complete fund forms online. Files are prepared in accordance with the funds requirements prior to submission.

I want to complete a form but have to fill in a form with general file information too. Why?
As you enter your records we will create a file. This file needs to be checked and validated to detect errors during data entry or transmission of records. The general information you supply allows us to identify the type of records, check that we have received all records, and to contact you if we detect any errors.

I have finished entering data and checked the records. What do I do now?
After you have entered your last record and have entered the payment details (if appropriate), confirm that the data entered is correct, and then click on the submit button. This will transfer the file to the fund administrator. After the file has been transferred a file received confirmation message will be displayed.

Can I download a file more than once?
