TIAA-CREF File and Report Processing
A series of common codes designed to indicate to the TIAA-CREF process where certain BusinessPLUS Payroll information can be retrieved from to complete data requirements. These common codes have a category of PYFG and values of PY626Cxx (where xx is a sequential number starting with 01 and continuing through 99, as needed). As many common codes as necessary to enter all parameters can be defined but they must be in consecutive numerical order by the ## value. The parameters defined within these common codes may be in any sequence, however, and have the general format indicated below with each parameter using one complete line of the five Associated Values, Codes and Descriptions lines in the common code:
Numeric Value | Associated Code | Associated Description |
-
-
-
Set this to the number of the deduction/contribution miscellaneous code box that will contain the CDH Flag (e.g., "TIA1")
| CDH FLAG | |
| ORG ID | (Use this value if and only if you are not using TIAA Group codes.)
=#####
Enter an equal sign (=) followed by the required five-character Organization Id. With this option, all employees are assigned the same Org ID. The PAYMENT MODE keyword, described below, must also be entered in common codes.
OR
cluster. attribute
If it is necessary to report employees under more than one Organization ID and/or Payment Mode use this option to specify the controlling field in the Employee Master that will separate employees into the appropriate groups.
For example, the cluster.attribute EMPM.GENCO, will use the employee's Entity field as the controlling value to group employees, EMPM.SEL2 will use the second Selection Code field, and EMPM.SKILL4 will use the fourth Skill Code field in the Employee Master. Any non-numeric field of the employee master may be used for this purpose.
In conjunction with the cluster.attribute option, the ORG/MODE keyword, described below, must be defined in common codes to assign the grouped employees a particular Organization Id and Payment Mode. |
| ORG/MODE | (Use this value if and only if you are not using TIAA Group codes.)
xxxxx yyy zzzz
Where xxxxx is the Organization Id, yyy is the Payment Mode and zzzz is the value of the field in the Employee Master (defined in the cluster.attribute option of the ORG ID parameter, described above).
For example, if the Description field of the ORG ID parameter contains: EMPM.GENCD and there are only two Entity codes (ROOT and CNTY) that are assigned to employees, then there will be two ORG/MODE entries in common codes that look like this:
ORG/MODE 12345 123 ROOT
ORG/MODE 54321 321 CNTY
This will result in all employees that have an Entity code of ROOT to be assigned Org ID 12345 and Payment Mode 123, and employees with the Entity CNTY to be assigned Org ID 54321 and Payment Mode 321. |
| PAYMENT MODE | (Use this value if and only if you are not using TIAA Group codes.)
=###
Enter an equal sign (=) followed by the required three-character Payment Mode.
The PAYMENT MODE keyword does not need to be entered if the ORG ID cluster.attribute option is used (and ORG/MODE keyword is used). PAYMENT MODE is only used when all employees are to be assigned the same Org ID and Payment Mode. |
| SEQUENCE | NAME
SSN
Enter either the word NAME or SSN, indicating the sequence desired for the output file and report. The default is SSN. Whichever sequence is selected, if there are multiple Org IDs and/or Payment modes, the NAME or SSN sequence will be subordinate to Org ID and Payment Mode. |
| INCLUDE EMP | DEDUCTION
CONTRIBUTION
ANY
Use one of these three options:
The word DEDUCTION to indicate that employees must have a TIAA-CREF flagged deduction to be included in the file and report.
The word CONTRIBUTION to indicate those employees to be reported must have a TIAA-CREF contribution in Check History.
The word ANY to indicate that employees with either a TIAA-CREF contribution or deduction or both will be included in the file and report. |

Set this to the number of the deduction/contribution miscellaneous code box that will contain the TIAA group code.
| TIAA GRP MSC | |
| TIAA GROUP | xxxx yyyyy zzz
where:
xxxx = a TIAA Group code
yyyyy = the Organization ID for this TIAA Group
zzz = The Payment Mode for this TIAA group |
