Understanding the Manual Creation of GIA Records

When you run the Extract GIA program to create GIAs, the system automatically creates most of the child records for each parent record type. However, when you manually create a GIA master record (record type 01), you must manually create all other record types. You use the Electronic GIA - Workbench program to manually create GIA records.

You create a master record and then each child record as needed. The system does not automatically populate any of the data for the records that you create. You must manually enter the necessary data.

You cannot create child records for record types 18, 25, 26, 27, 30, or 31. These record types are not parent records for any other record type.

If you manually create records by using the Electronic GIA - Workbench program, the system creates the text string that it writes to the Flexible Field by concatenating the values that you enter in the fields on the Electronic GIA Revision form. The system displays the text string in the Electronic GIA Revision form when you click Find after completing a record.
