!!Processing Information
From selection criteria, UBEF retrieves employee basic information and primary assignment information

From parameter Interface Level, the data base tables will be loaded accordingly:
*at company level: DEN / DLN / DDP / DDD / DUN / DGR / DGD / DGV
*at employee level: EID / EPS / EEM / EAS / EASD / PPRU / PPRC / ECT
*for BE only: BPT / BPN / BCG / BCGD / BCGD / BCGR / BEND / BBR / ECT

From parameter Interface Level, the following information will be written to the interface file

Lexicon [X_INTERFACE_LEVEL] values:
|01 - EEM + EASD| *(not applicable for UBEF processing)
|02 - EEM + EASD + Contacts |* (not applicable for UBEF processing)
|10 - BE Plans | *primary Assignment and BE related data base tables are loaded \\* this level will perform IDIF Record Type 'Detail Record' for each BE plan \\*i.e. write one entry per employee for each BE plan
|11 - BE + Contacts |* (not applicable for UBEF processing).

UBEF provides an audit report in Excel spreadsheet format to verify each data column that is entered in the interface file, in order to obtain this report, the UBEF function must be run a second time using the exact same parameters that was used to obtain the interface file with the following two exceptions:
# The 'Interface Code' must contain a file name that is specified with a file format of 'Comma Delimited'.
# The 'File Name' must have a file extension of .csv so that it can be viewed through an Excel spreadsheet.
