Introduction
This section provides a table to help you interpret the various edit codes
that are used in the RFMS process and their related comments. The
information is grouped according to the following column headings:
• Edit Code – the number that is assigned if the RFMS edit condition(s)
is met. This column also lists one of the three edit types. They are:
W Warning and/or Corrected
E Rejected
D Duplicate
• Message – the explanation that displays for the prescribed edit
condition.
• RFMS Condition and Action – a description of the situation that
caused the edit and the action taken either to resolve it and/or to notify
the school of the potential error.
• What It Means –further explanation of the message in an effort to
make the cause of the edit clearer.
• How to Fix It – what the user must do to resolve the mistaken
condition.
