# Import and verify Fair Share

Fair Share is a creditor contribution. It is separate from the client's program fee. There are two common treatments. In this illustrative example, a hundred-dollar disbursement with ten percent deducted Fair Share sends ninety dollars to the creditor and records ten dollars as the contribution. With billed Fair Share, the full hundred dollars goes to the creditor, and the contribution is billed separately. Confirm which arrangement applies before interpreting a net amount or invoice.

For an RPPS update, open Import RPPS Billers and choose RPPS Fairshare. Use the current approved file after the directory update. Read the Action field. By default, this import removes the previous Fair Share data and loads the selected file. Choose a different action only when it matches the intended update. A file can contain multiple Companies, matched by RPPS identifiers. Verify those mappings and your recovery plan before Submit. This demonstration shows the setup without importing a provider file.

After import, compare the result with the source file. Check a sample of DS billers and Company percentages, including any approved override. Enter whole percentages: eight point five means eight and a half percent. An account-level contribution and an RPPS contribution are not interchangeable settings. Review the applicable arrangement on the account, then compare gross amount, net amount, and Fair Share in the disbursement report. Resolve unexpected deductions before generating output.

For billed contributions, open Billed FS Report. Review the eligible period, creditor, client scope, invoice address, and existing invoice status. The report supports invoice processing, so read the selected action before using it. Generating billed Fair Share and assigning invoice numbers are accounting changes, not simply viewing a list. Follow your billing procedure, reconcile contributions to the underlying disbursements, and retain the invoice reference. A created invoice is still separate from collection of the contribution.
