(ER) Import configurations from RCS

Important

Regulatory Configuration Service (RCS) will be deprecated. All new RCS provisioning is stopped as of 10.0.39 GA. If provisioning is required, please register a support ticket. We will be providing tools and required support for migration from RCS to the Globalization Studio workspace. We plan to fully shut down RCS by August 1, 2024. For more information about migration to Globalization Studio workspace, see Regulatory Configuration Service merge to the Globalization Studio workspace

The following steps explain how a user in the System Administrator or Electronic Reporting Developer role can import a new version of an Electronic reporting (ER) configuration from Microsoft Regulatory Configuration Services (RCS). In this example, you will select the version of the ER configuration that has been configured in an RCS instance and import it into the current instance for sample company, Litware, Inc. These steps can be performed in any company because ER configurations are shared among companies. To complete these steps, you must first complete the steps in the article, Create configuration providers and mark them as active. To complete these steps, you must also have access to an RCS instance containing at least one ER configuration in either Completed or Shared status.

  1. Go to Organization administration > Workspaces > Electronic reporting.
  2. Make sure that the configuration provider for the sample company, Litware, Inc., is available and marked as Active. If you don't see this configuration provider, complete the steps in the article, Create configuration providers and mark them as active.
