Contracting Entity Profile
The Contracting Entity Profile provides general information on the Contracting Entity. The Contracting Entity Profile data is NOT year-specific. It provides general attribute information regarding the Contracting Entity such as name, CE ID, type of agency, and county.
All Contracting Entities must be initially registered through the Contracting Entity Profile screen before an Application Packet can be completed and any additional data can be added to the system. Furthermore, a Contracting Entity cannot be assigned a TX-UNPS User ID until the entity is defined in the system via the Contracting Entity Profile screen.
Note: State users also use the Contracting Entity Profile to specify whether the Contracting Entity will report Contracting Entity level or Site level claims. Once these preferences are set, they are in effect starting the following claim month. TX-UNPS functionality will not honor a change to claiming status (Contracting Entity reporting vs. Site reporting) within a claim month.
