How to set up files for NIBRS submission

·       From the left-hand navigation menu, choose State Reporting

·       Once on the screen, select the timeframe you’ll be working with, either a week (TN) or prior month (GA)

·       Review each report that shows it is eligible for submission.  If the Validation Errors show a green check then it has been ran through the NIBRS validator and has no errors.  IF the Validation Errors show a red X then it has NIBRS errors and needs to be corrected.

·       Once all reports have been validated and are error free, choose the select all button by clicking in the box at the top of the grid

·       This will highlight the “Generate Batch” button in the top right above the grid.

·       Click this button and it will create and download the file for submission.

·       Login to your State website and submit the file for processing.

·       After it is accepted, click the “View Batches” button to go to the next screen

·       Select the batch from the dropdown you have submitted.

·       Click “Update to Accept”.  This will note that the file has been uploaded to the State website.  You also have the ability to mark it as rejected if you’re notified changes need to be made.
