# MCR: How do I regenerate the roles IDs?

You can regenerate the **Role Ids** up to and including the **MCR Submission** date if necessary, to populate a blank **Role ID**.

## To regenerate role ids

1. Navigate to the **Teachers Pension-Monthly Contribution Reconciliation** window. Go to **Cintra iQ**: Payroll > Payroll Tools > Payroll Reports > Teachers Pension-Monthly Contribution Reconciliation.
2. Select the desired Employer.
3. Select the desired Return Period End **date**.
4. Perform either of the following:
  - If it's the current Return period, click the **Generate Return Data** button.
  - If it is the current Return period, click the **Retrieve Return Data** button.
5. In the **Employee Role Id** tab, click the **Generate Role Id** button. The **Role Ids** that correspond to the **Role Rules** are refreshed in the **Role Id** column. The records are updated to the database and the changes are flagged in the **Record Status** column.

> [!WARNING]
> **Important:** Once the MCR has been regenerated for the first month, Role Ids which have already been submitted to Teachers Pension, can only be amended after selecting the Edit Role Id check box and must be conveyed to Teachers Pension Administration by email.
