Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

 

1. How do I enter a New Submission in FPRS?

• Click the “Online Forms” tab at the top of the screen.

• Click the “New Submission” link under the “Online Forms” tab.

• Select:

• Program

• Form

• State

• Agency (if applicable)

• Operating Period

• Click the “Next” button.

• In the box that appears at the bottom of the screen click “New” next to the appropriate revision and/or submission type.

• Consult the User Manual, Part B, regarding your form for more information on entering data into the fields.

• Once you have completed your form select "Save", or if you have the option available you can select "Certify". This will complete your form submission to someone who can "Certify" or "Post" it.

 

 

2. I have opened up a New Submission and the “Previously Reported Balance” entries are not filled in. How do I proceed?

• Do not continue with data entry if the “Previously Reported Balance” fields are not showing.

• You should select "Cancel" and follow the procedures described in Question 1, above.

 

 

3. I have finished entering data and saved the form, but when I went back into the form later, the cells were blank. Why?

• Although rare, the three most common reasons for this are:

• You are using a pop-up blocker that prevents validation. Validation must complete for the form to be saved. You need to deactivate your pop-up blocker.

• When the validation box appeared you did not click the "OK" button, which tells FPRS to save the form. Always be sure to hit the "OK" button.

• You allowed FPRS to time out. This disconnects your computer from FPRS, preventing the form from being saved. Always remember to save your form at least once every ten minutes.

• If none of these solutions applies to you, please contact FPRS Support. The Contact details are at the bottom of this list.

 

 

4. Am I supposed to enter data in the gray cells?

• No. Those cells are for system use only.

 

 

5. Why are the gray cells empty?

• The gray cells are sometimes filled out automatically as you type. Other times the gray cells are calculated only when the form is validated by clicking either the "Save" button or the "Validate" button.

 

 

6. What if I have other questions or concerns?

• Call the FPRS Help Desk to get assistance with your issue. The Help Desk can be reached by phone at # or by email at e-address
