The states covered by this Tax Credit Export Type include:
Mississippi
Missouri

The application used by these states is called Certification Online (http://www.emphasys-software.com/products.aspx?mode=suite&suiteid=2) by Emphasys.
When creating a Tax Credit Transmit Emphasys Export Type, the following columns should be completed:
Funding Program - you can have a separate Tax Credit Transmit Export Type for each funding program of a community.
Export URL - URL for state’s web site with login to Certification Online for that state.
Short Description - this column populates the Destination Column on the Occupancy and Compliance Detail > LIHTC tab
Export Portfolio Name - Enter the Community’s LIHTC Community Number (no dashes)
This populates the xml file’s PROJECT_ID field
Excluded Certtypes - NS, SL, GP, VC, LC, RA, TM, XF, NR, NU, IR, GR
Certtypes to be excluded from the xml file to be created.
Two other setup details that need to be taken care of before you can transmit a successful file:
The formatting of the BIN entered at the Community Detail > Contract tab needs to exclude dashes. This populates the BUILDING_ID field in the xml file.
For example if the BIN is NY-00-99999, it needs to be entered as NY0099999.
When the xml file is created, the process only takes the first 9 characters in the Tax Credit BIN column.
The formatting of the Unit Nbr entered at the Unit Detail > General tab in the Tax Credit Unit Nbr column needs to exclude dashes. This populates the UNIT_ID field in the xml file.
If this column is left blank (null), then the xml file will pull the Unit Nbr as the Building Number and Apt Number (for example, P-1234), and that will cause an error when the xml file is imported into the state’s Certification Online.
If you are unsure of the Community Nbr (Project ID), BIN (Building ID) and/or Unit Nbr (Unit ID), you can log into your state’s Certification Online and verify these numbers there.
