Home → Campaign Manager → California State Report FAQs → San Diego County filers - Why are my sub-vendor memos appearing on Schedule E instead of Schedule G?
If you file your California compliance reports to San Diego County office and not the FPPC, then you are uploading your reports to a software application built by the company SouthTech Systems. Their software functions a bit differently than how the FPPC guidelines would prefer. It will sometimes place sub-vendor memos onto schedule E when, for state level filers, the FPPC prefers to see them on schedule G. The software finds the two fields at the end of the transaction that shows what schedule this Schedule G transaction corresponds to, as well as the exact trans ID of the transaction on that schedule, and elects to pull them there.
Essentially, both methods are permissible but since the FPPC prefers that state level filers report transactions like these on Schedule G we have built our report to correspond exactly with what the state of California says they prefer. The SouthTech Systems software elects to pull these transactions to Schedule E and that's not technically wrong, but the FPPC would just prefer they show on Schedule G which is why Campaign Manager's report behaves in this fashion.
