Mass Certificate Transfers(MCTs)
M-RETS has released new functionality that allows for the mass transfer of certificates via CSV to either an internal active account or an external organization.
To Mass Transfer Certificates: Creating the CSV transfer file
- Filter the “Active” certificates dashboard by the batches you wish to transfer. In this example, I will filter by vintage range of 01/2020 to 12/2020. Once filtered, select the download button, you will need to take information from the downloaded CSV later.
-
Navigate to the Registry Documents section of the M-RETS website (https://www.mrets.org/resources/documents/). Under the “Mass Certificate Transfers” section download the “Mass Certificate Transfers Template”. We will then input the necessary information into the CSV.
-
Column A Using the downloaded “Active Certificates” CSV from step one, copy the serial numbers into the “Mass Certificate Transfers Template”.
- Column B Input the quantity you are transferring, you can transfer either the full batch or a partial quantity.
Please note: for columns C & D below you will only need to complete one column. You can either transfer certificates from one active account to another or transfer certificates externally to an organization.
-
Column C If transferring to an external organization: You will need to obtain the organization ID from the org, this ID will begin with “MM” followed by several numbers.
-
Column D If transferring to an internal active account: Obtain the Account ID by navigating to “Accounts” and copying the “Account ID”.
-
Column E You can include any notes that you would like to appear on the certificate transfer.
Uploading the MCT File
-
Navigate to the “Certificates” Dashboard
-
Select the “Upload” button at the top of the table.
- Select “Choose file” and then “Upload”
If there is an error with your upload or file you will receive an email from the M-RETS System detailing what the issue is. If the certificates are being sent to an external organization they will remain in a pending state until they are accepted.
