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 daily update extractfiles.

Integration
This program updates the CCR vendor records in the SAP database tablesFMCCRTVENDOR and FMCCRTVENDORPOC.
Vendor master records are not updated by this program. To update SAP ERPvendor master records with the CCR vendor record updates, run thethe program RFFMCCRVENDORUPDATE.

Prerequisites


• The program RFFMCCRUPLOAD must have been executed using a complete
master monthly refresh file provided by CCR.

• The CCR daily update file must be downloaded from CCR and then stored on
a SAP server. The large size of the daily update files means they cannotbe stored on a client machine.

Selection
The only selection parameter for this report is 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.
Owing to the high volume of data processed by this report, you shouldrun it as a batch job in the background.
