Collector uploads are designed to accept feeds from departments billing other units at your institution. This process does some file validation and has built in email communications back to the customer using it. The collector is best used for feeding in General Ledger entries that are not coming from an enterprise-level system and may be prone to errors. Collector files can be in .xml format or loaded as flat text files. Uploaded Collector files will be processed the next time the collectorJob batch job is run.
