Setting Up Ethnicity for EDI TS189 Application Transactions

This section provides an overview of ethnicity setup for EDI TS189 transactions and discusses how to set up ethnicity mapping.

You need to make sure that your system is set up to correctly populate ethnicity information during the TS189 posting processes.

In order to populate ethnicity and race information in the system to meet IPEDS requirements, you should complete ethnicity mapping on the IPEDS Ethnicity Mapping table rather than on the Conversion Data Profile. If collecting this data according to the IPEDS requirements is not necessary, then you may use the Conversion Data Profile.

Note: When IPEDS data is available, the system ignores any Ethnic Group field on the Bio/Demo page.
