Once all of the CIBER and TAP files have been written, the Outcollect file is placed in the Outgoing directory specified in the Clearinghouse Service Directories. See Configuring the Directories.
Some ARPs require a transmittal file. This file has one record and details the totals for the outcollect file. This file is placed with the outcollect file in the Outgoing directory.
These files are transmitted to the ARP. Once the files have been sent, they should be moved from the Outgoing directory to another location and saved.
