Troubleshooting

Table 1

Item

Description

1

CIN must be 9 digits

A CIN must be 9 digits to search on External Customer Matching List (ECML).

To find an ECML record when the CIN for a customer and/or child is known, add zeros before the CIN so it is 9 digits long.

E.g. if the CIN is 12345, search for CIN 000012345 on ECML system.

Using less than 9 digits, will not result in any records found on ECML.

2

Incorrect CIN linked to Centrelink record

If an incorrect CIN is linked to the Centrelink record this will need to be confirmed by the Child Support Centrelink Liaison Unit (CLU). Delete the incorrect CIN, then wait overnight before manually matching the correct CIN on ECML.

3

Error Message (E035C3/E018C3): customer record is unable to be matched due to the record already having an XRN

The XRN (CIN) needs correcting in ISIS or Cuba depending on the match.

Refer directly to CSU SSO for help.

Record this information in the ECML processing database.

4

Actioning multiple ECML entries for the same CIN

This is an issue with CSE transactions.

ICT have identified a problem with CIN’s where there are 14 or more pending transactions.

If each outstanding transaction is actioned (Match or No Match) it causes the cancelation of all ECML activities in the data file transfer for that day. This results in the data having to manually re-input by ICT.

Workaround

For CIN’s that have more than 14 outstanding transactions:

  • Cancel all old transactions except for the most recent date received. To cancel a transaction code X and press [enter]
  • Update the remaining transaction as Match or No match, see Table 1 on the Process page
