Step 2 CGFS Import: Uploading MBC Report Follow

The CGFS Import is the MBC Report that is retrieved from SHIFTS. Before importing the MBC Reward File into RCA, verify that the file is for the correct pay periods. The name of the file contains the first and last pay period, for example: PostId_MBC_Report_2024B04_2025B03, which means the report captures T&A data for pay period 4/2024 through pay period 3/2025. You may want to work with your main timekeeper to verify that corrections to any pay periods have been addressed before the MBC Report is downloaded.

1. Upload CGFS File: Click on Import CGFS File from the left menu under Rewards Calculations. Locate the CGFS file on your computer and add it to RCA.  

   

Next in the CGFS Import, click on the Import From File button.

Locate your CGFS File (this is the MBC Report you downloaded from SHIFTS).

While your file is uploading you will see the message below. This process could take several minutes depending on the size of your file.

The message will change from Uploading File to Saving Data.

As soon as your file is fully uploaded, you will notice a green confirmation message in the upper right-hand corner. Next, the screen will display each employee included in your CGFS File. The employees are listed alphabetically by last name.

Notice the updated layout. Users can now access Errors, Excluded, and Successful records using the toggles in the top menu. You can filter your view by selecting one of the toggles. The default view is set to Total; this view includes all records.

There is a new option to filter your view by Post. If your Mission has more than one Post in your Mission, use the Filter Location dropdown to select one or more Posts for a filtered view. This is useful for larger missions with multiple RCA Mission Admins helping to review the data imports.

You can search for any employee using either their Payroll ID or Name. Type into the Global Filter, then click Search.
