Updates for Standardized Account Code Structure (SACS) validation tables, spreadsheets, and related files have been posted on the Internet. They can be downloaded from: www.cde.ca.gov/fg/ac/ac/validcodes.asp Updating the SACS software with the latest validation tables is a three-step process:
1. Download the vtables.exe zipped file to your C:\SACS2020ALL\Update folder. 2. Unzip the vtables.exe file to your C:\SACS2020ALL\Update folder. 3. Run the Update Validation routine in the SACS software to replace the existing tables with the updated tables. For more detailed information on updating the SACS software, please refer to our web page: www.cde.ca.gov/fg/ac/ac/validationtables.asp Attached to this email are two Microsoft Word documents, both summarizing changes to the validation tables. One document lists the affected combinations and their start and end dates; the other document contains more descriptive information. These two documents will also be copied to your C:\SACS2020ALL\Update folder when the vtables.exe file is unzipped. We would appreciate feedback regarding the usefulness of the information contained in these zip files. Thank you.
