Purpose
The Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary vendor databasefor the U.S. Federal Government. The CCR collects, validates, stores,and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition missions.
Both current and potential government vendors are required to registerin CCR in order to be awarded contracts by the government. Vendors arerequired to complete a one-time registration to provide basicinformation relevant to procurement and financial transactions. Vendorsmust update or renew their registration annually to maintain an activestatus.
CCR validates the vendor's information and electronically shares thesecure and encrypted data with the federal agencies' finance offices tofacilitate paperless payments through electronic funds transfer (EFT).Additionally, CCR shares the data with government procurement andelectronic business systems.
CCR provides a Master Extract File which contains data records for allactive vendors registered with CCR. The program RFFMCCRUPLOAD is used toupload the vendor records contained in this file into the SAPenvironment.
CCR provides a monthly extract file at the beginning of each monthcontaining all active CCR vendors and also provides a daily update filewhich contains updates for CCR vendor data. This allows for the thefollowing types of processing:

• Download the monthly extract each month to refresh a user database.


• Download the monthly database once, then keep the database synchronized
with the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS) by downloading thedaily update files each day.

• A combination of the above, where a complete refresh is done each month
even though the daily updates were processed.
This program should only be used to upload the monthly extract files.

Integration
This program uploads the CCR vendor records into the SAP database tablesFMCCRTVENDOR and FMCCRTVENDORPOC.
This program does not create vendor master records. To realize SAPvendor master records from the CCR vendor master records contained inthese database tables, you must run the program RFFMCCRVENDORCREATE.

Prerequisites
The CCR monthly extract file must be downloaded from CCR and then storedon an SAP server. The monthly extract files are too large to be storedon a client machine.

Selection
The only selection parameters for this report are the server directorypath which includes the file name and the extract date.

Activities
Ensure that you have downloaded the correct file layout from CCR. SAPonly supports the upload of the "Complete Master Extract" file layout.
Because of the volume of data processed by this report, it should be runas a batch job in the background.
