This process is used to open an outgoing interstate case with another state if that state has a CSENet agreement with Kansas, and to send other information on the case. (If reopening a case previously sent to that state, use Business Practice 1300-8 Reopening an Outgoing Interstate Case.)

Reminder: Add the U Class Legal Actions or J Class Legal Actions on LACT before you do this process as they will need to be attached to the outgoing transaction when sending the initial transaction to open the interstate case.

To open an outgoing interstate case with a state which does not have a CSENet agreement with Kansas, refer to Business Practice 1300-2 Manually Converting an Outgoing Interstate Case.

--Enter CSE case number--

--Press PF2 Display. The AP/AR name and person number will appear--

--Enter state code in the Other State field--

NOTE: The three fields below are not listed in the order they appear on the screen because it is simpler to go in reverse order, unless you know exactly which function code goes with the reason code you wish to use. Tab over the Function and Action fields to enter the Reason code first, then return to the Function field and enter AS@ in the prompt field to list. Because the Reason code was entered first only the valid Function codes are listed for that Reason code.

--Enter reason code in the Reason field--

--Enter function code in the Function field--

--Action field should already display the correct action code at this point--

NOTE: The above codes may be entered directly or selected from a list screen. To select, enter AS@ in the prompt field to the right of the code field and press PF4 (List). A list of valid codes will appear. Select the appropriate code with an AS@ & press PF9 to return to OINR.

--The Children Referred field will display all active children on the case with an "S" in front of their name to be included on the transaction. If a specific child should not be on the referral, remove the S in front of that child.

--Enter "S" in the Court Order # field--

--Press PF4 (List) to flow to List Legal Actions by CSE Case Number

(LACS)--

--For enforcement cases: Select the court order(s)--

Select only court orders with a AJ@ (Journal Entry) classification.

The standard practice is to select every journal entry in order to provide a complete legal history to the other state.

--For establishment cases: We are required to provide a Kansas payment address to the other state when sending a transaction with a function code of EST R, EST U, ENF R, or ENF U. The payment address is located on the LACT screen (in the "Pay To" field) for a legal action, and this information is sent to the other state by choosing a legal action for the Court Order # field on OINR. Since for an establishment case there will be no court order to select from LACS, you must bring a different type of legal action into the Court Order # field on OINR to get the payment location information. For this reason only, when planning to send an establishment request, you will need to have added the payment location fields of "Pmt Loc" and "Pay To" when setting up the UIFSA document Trans1, CS Trans#1-Initial Req, following Business Practice 900-25 Adding/Recording a Legal Action (KS CSE).

Select the UIFSA document Trans1 from the list of legal actions. Do not select other UIFSA documents; you may list UIFSA documents in the Notes section on OINR.

Press PF9 (Return) to OINR. The message ANO CT ORD@ will appear in the Legal Action field.

NOTE: NOTE: When a journal entry is selected, a court order data block will be created for CSENet. It is important to select each journal entry that needs to be sent. If there are three journal entries listed for court case number 99D15 and three journal entries are selected, three court order data blocks will be created. If just two are selected, then only two court order data blocks will be created resulting in data for only two of the three journal entries being transmitted.

NOTE: A maximum of three journal entries may be sent in one transaction. If there are more than three journal entries, the user will need to send a second transaction. If there are more than eight children on a case, the user will need to add the additional children to be included in the referral in the Notes section.

--Enter "Y" in the Attachments field if an attachment is to be included. Put an "S" in the plus prompt to flow to CDVL to select the attachment. An attachment is required when sending an initial referral to a state, otherwise it is optional.--

--Type a note in the Notes field. (Required only if sending an attachment.) This is where you would note documents being mailed to the other state.--

--Press PF5 Add/Manual Convert to add the outgoing interstate portion of the case. This will create the initial contact with the responding state through CSENet.--

--Press PF15 (Send) to create subsequent outgoing transactions and interstate history records.--

–NEXT to IATT to view and maintain Interstate Attachment requests. Record on IATT when a requested attachment has been received.--

--Press PF17 if you wish to proceed to IREQ (Interstate Request History). This screen displays a historical record of all CSENet transactions for a specific case.--
