New Edit Procedure
Mimics the ERS files regarding post-data transformation editing
Edits not run at CO
Edit report does not require custom preparation by IR
Only takes a few minutes to execute
The Records office can run it whenever they want and as often as they want
Records can fix a few errors at a time and get quick feedback
Edit report provides dynamic information on relevant fields
