    After you have reviewed the data on the OTIP Worksheet page and resolved any data errors, you can create the OTIP MPL export file.

    The OTIP MPL export file is an Excel file that has the following worksheets:

    • Member Data: Includes MEM records.

    • Position Data: Includes POS records.

    • Leave Data: Includes LEV records

    Each worksheet includes a header and a trailer record.

    Naming convention

    For a single Excel submission, the following naming format is used:

    B#####_NATUREOFFILE_OTIP_MPL_YYYYMMDD.xlsx

    where:

    • B##### represents the school board unique employer group ID that OTIP assigns.

    • NATUREOFFILE is PROD or TEST.

      On the Provincial Benefits Data Exchange Setup page, on the OTIP FastTab, the Production field determines whether PROD or TEST is included in the OTIP MPL export file name. When Production is turned off, the OTIP MPL export file includes TEST in the file name. Otherwise, when Production is turned on, the OTIP MPL export file includes PROD in the file name.

    • YYYYMMDD is the year, month, and day that the file was created.
