  • If an applicable RMA code was chosen in TSoftPlus, you are able to enter information in High RMA, Medium RMA, Low RMA (columns G, H, I): RMA data.
  • RMA Code - populates from RMA Code chosen in TSoftPlus on the NAICS screen on the Eligibility tab.
  • NAICS Code - populates from NAICS Code chosen in TSoftPlus on the NAICS screen on the Eligibility tab.
  • Description - populates from NAICS Code Description chosen in TSoftPlus on the NAICS screen on the Eligibility tab.
Note:
If all zeros (0) appear in the RMA columns, an RMA did not receive enough information for the SIC Code and Sizes Standard. To resolve, try one of the following:
  • Use Sales as the base method versus Assets and vice-versa.
  • Try changing the base year.
