MOTOR FUELS FLAT (FLT) FILE and EDI FILING GUIDE
FLT

An FLT file transmission is made up of one or more data sets. Data Set is the term used to describe the online equivalent of a paper document (tax return, information report, etc.). X12-formatted EDI files are the foundation of motor fuels online filing. For the purpose of this guide, EDI and FLT data will be referred to as a data set.

Data Set

The data included in an FLT or EDI data set conveys the same information as the conventional paper document. Within each data set, there are sections that correspond directly to the format of the paper document:

  • The header section contains information that pertains to the entire document, such as the filing date, company name, company address, filing period, account number, contact information, etc.
  • The return section contains information describing which return is present in the data set.
  • The summary item section contains information that cannot be derived from the detail, such as other exempt removals, etc.
  • The transaction detail section includes the same information found on the paper schedules, such as bill of lading, carrier information, origin and destination information, gallons, etc.

A FLT data set is designed for a smaller business entity than one that may use EDI and that may have a less automated system and enter the data by hand in a software application like Microsoft Excel or Access.

FLT Standards

The group responsible for developing the FLT (flat file) standards is the CDTFA. These standards apply only to files being submitted by a motor fuels customer.

FLT standards for the CDTFA can be found on the Motor Fuels Online Filing web page. They include:

  • Attribute Conventions - formatting requirements
  • Data Elements - field identifiers
  • File Structure - FE/FG /FS
  • Segments - tax form descriptors

Standards prescribe the framework for how a specific FLT message is formatted.

The CDTFA has developed Microsoft Excel workbook files for specific tax forms. Though each template may be used to create FLT documents, they are intended as examples for reference only.

The FLT workbooks are available on the Motor Fuels Online Filing web page. Also available are example workbooks which contain data that correspond to one of the example tax forms.

The CDTFA does not endorse the Microsoft Excel product nor does it accept liability for any problems resulting from submitting an online file developed from the Excel workbook files. The CDTFA's Microsoft Excel workbook file may be used without a complete understanding of the FLT format; however, a level of computer skill is required to use Microsoft Excel.

CDTFA FLT (Flat File) Specifications

General

You will follow the FLT File Format, as defined in Version 1 Release 4 (CDTFA map). The CDTFA requires that all schedules provide the detailed information needed to perform tracking of monthly fuel transactions.

The CDTFA requires that both gallon and dollar amounts be rounded to the nearest whole number. Do not use decimals.

This section provides the information you need to create motor fuels tax forms. It will cover all the necessary specifications in detail for the creation of these tax forms. The topics covered are as follows:

  • Motor Fuels FLT File Format Flow

    This section describes the record types contained in a file. Each of the record types is used for a specific purpose and, if a record type is required, it must be placed in the file in the order the record types are listed.

  • Motor Fuels FLT File Structure Overview

    This section lists all of the fields in each record type without the formatting requirements for the fields. It also contains a description of the use for the record type as well as tips for completing record types. This section of the chapter is useful for laying out the flat file as it applies to individual reporting needs.

  • Motor Fuels FLT File Tax Form Descriptors

    This section provides two key pieces of information for the development of a FLT file. First, it provides the Report Type field data for each tax form. This field data is used in every record type except the Filing Format Identifier record type. Second, this section provides detailed information about the line item requirements for each tax form.

  • Attribute Conventions and Separator Requirements

    This section provides information helpful for understanding the formatting requirements for each field in a record type.

  • Motor Fuels FLT File Reporting Map

    This section provides detailed information on the requirements for each record type. This information includes formatting requirements for each field.

Version of FLT File Specifications

The CDTFA s FLT File Specifications version control number for this publication is 4.0. The version control number will change when the CDTFA publishes updates to the FLT File format. This number is used by the CDTFA to manage changes between versions in flat files. Report the version control number in the File Type (FLT) Segment found in the FLT File format map of this chapter.

Record Types

"Record type" is the term used to describe a line in the flat file. There are five different record types, and they are used to report different information. Some record types may or may not be required in a flat file, depending on the tax form being created, and some record types are only used once (FLT and FE record types) while others are repeated as often as necessary (FG and FS). Each record type is composed of fields containing the data needed to convey the information required by the CDTFA. A complete flat file will contain all the record types necessary to convey the information required for the tax form to be filed with the CDTFA in the proper format.

The FLT file format is designed to accommodate multiple tax forms. Therefore, fields are included in the record type's map that may not be applicable to every individual tax form. In these instances, no data is required to populate that field, but the empty field must be included in the file to maintain its integrity. A "Filler Tab" is used for this purpose.

Motor Fuels FLT File Format Flow

All tax forms follow the FLT File format flow. The number of records in the FG and FS record types sections may vary depending on the requirements of the tax form and the type and quantity of transactions to be reported. For example, the line item record type (FG) will be repeated as many times as needed to report all line items for the tax form being created. (See "Motor Fuels FLT File Tax Form Descriptors" in this document for the requirements for each form.) Refer to the overview and format of the tax form to be reported to determine specific reporting requirements.

Motor Fuels FL Structure Overview

The Filing Format Identifier Record Type (FLT) is used for all tax forms. It lets the CDTFA know what type of file is being submitted. To maintain data integrity throughout the file, the data in field 4, Interchange Control Number, must be used in field 21 of the header record type (FE) and field 37 of each permutation of the schedule record type (FS).

The Header Record Type (FE) is used for all tax forms. It provides the CDTFA with the information it needs to identify the filer and validate the filing s acceptability. To maintain data integrity throughout the file, the information in fields 1-9 is repeated for every subsequent record type. Field 9 identifies the type of tax form being filed. A description of the data needed to populate that field is in "Motor Fuels FLT File Tax Form Descriptors" of this document.

The Line Item Record Type (FG) reports the line item information (the face of paper returns) to the CDTFA. It is not used for all tax forms. Refer to "Motor Fuels FLT File Tax Form Descriptors" in this document to determine what line item information, if any, is required for the tax form in question. All fields must be completed for each line item on the tax form.

The Payment Order/Remittance Advice Record Type (FP) reports the payment authorization information to the CDTFA. It is not used for all tax forms. It applies to forms SDR (Supplier of Diesel and Motor Vehicle Fuel) and DLR (Aircraft Jet Fuel Dealer). The segment is only included if a payment is remitted with the online tax return. The segment is not required if the payment for the return is made using other existing EFT methods.

The Schedule Record Type (FS) is not used for all tax forms. It is used to report individual transactions. All 45 fields are used to report one transaction. Each transaction is a separate line and contains all 45 fields. The Schedule Record Type was developed to encompass all the transaction schedules used by the CDTFA; therefore, all fields do not apply to every schedule. If a field does not apply to the schedule used to report a transaction, no entry is required for that field, and a "Filler Tab" should be inserted in place of any data to maintain the integrity of the record type.

Motor Fuels FLT File Tax Form Descriptors

Each tax form contains different line items on its face except the terminal operator report and petroleum carrier (common carrier) report. These line items must be reported in the Line Item Record Type of the report. Each line item is reported using four (4) fields in the record type: FG10 (Line Item Code), FG11 (Unit of Measure (UOM) Qualifier), FG12 (UOM), and FG13 (Amount). The following tables identify the required field information and reporting order in the Line Item Record Type for each accepted tax form.
