You run this process to create the ASCII electronic tax file after you have created live (not dummy) IRP5 and IT3(a) Tax Certificates.

You run this process from the Submit Requests window.

   To create the Electronic Tax File:

1. In the Name field, select Electronic Tax File (Pre Tax Year 2010).

2. In the Parameters window, select the tax year for which you are creating the certificates.

3. Select the tax certificate preprocess. If left blank, all certificates created by the Tax Certificate Preprocesses run in the selected tax year will be included in the file. Select a specific tax certificate preprocess when re-issuing tax certificates. Only the re-issued tax certificates are written to the electronic tax file.

4. Select whether this is a test or live transmission to SARS.

5. Enter an override number if you want to override the system- generated number that is incremented sequentially each time you produce a file.

6. Click the Submit button.

   The output file that is created is in the $APPLCSF/out directory. The output file name is in the format o<request_ID>.mf. The request ID is created by Oracle Payroll.
