Important Updates from the Collections Information Repository

CIR Maintenance Release 3.24 Implementation Successful

On June 29, 2013, the CIR Maintenance Release 3.24 was successfully implemented. The release provided updated CIR Voucher Reports. The reports have new layouts which are in response to agency feedback. The changes include a switch from landscape to portrait orientation; smaller fonts, margins and headings to display more text per page. There are no changes in the data coming from the collection channel programs.

Both new and original formats will be available for at least months to allow agencies to transition to the new formats. In order to use the new version of the reports, users who have scheduled the original version will need to define a new schedule for the new version of the report. Once the transition period ends, only the new version will be available for viewing and scheduling.

The original versions of the Fedwire reports were retired with this release. This concludes the three-month parallel transition period during which both the original and new versions of the Fedwire reports were available.

There are no changes to Agency XML extracts.

CIR Maintenance Release 3.24 also included fixes to a few defects.

CIR Users: For more information on the CIR Voucher Reports changes, please go to the CIR Release Notes link in the CIR application.

Specification for CIR XML Extract Files

The Specification for CIR XML Extract Files has been updated to reflect the current capabilities of CIR. This document allows members of an agency’s IT staff to understand and process the output that is produced as a result of an agency or other Receiving Trading Partner (RTP) user defining a scheduled extract within CIR.

The updates include a change of the application name from TRS to CIR, where applicable.

Financial Institutions and Historical Deposit Voucher Data

Financial institutions do not have access to CIR and therefore do not have access to deposit voucher data that was manually entered into CA$HLINK II prior to January 1, 2013. A process has been developed for financial institutions to request this historical data. If you have questions about the process, please contact the CIR Call Center at (800) 346-5465 or (301) 887-6600.

CIR Maintenance Release 3.23 Implementation Successful
