Design 3703. The required data will be reported when design 3702 has reported any item corresponding to franchises (50XXX). Otherwise, this design will not be submitted. In the "Item Code" field, each of the franchise codes reported in design 3702 must be reported, providing in this file the detail of the number and point of the Resolution that gave rise to it, the resulting amount from its application, and its description. In case the granted franchise consists of different points, these data must be provided for each of them. The sequence number ("Sequence" field) must be a numeric sequential value starting from 01 and maintaining ascending order. If the description of a point occupies more than one record, the match of each item reported in design 3702 with the sum of the amounts corresponding to the same code with ("sequence") field equal to 01 will be verified. The "Description" field will be recorded in uppercase without accents, and will not contain tab characters or quotes. The "Amount" field will only be integrated for the first record of each sequence ("Sequence" field = 01); for the rest of the cases, it will be completed with zeros.
