Process Improvement
Description:
Mass Appropriation Update only supports moving to fund codes that follow the same interface system code. Most Accounting systems require cost elements that do not lend them to an automated transition from one accounting system to another. The AY (no automated interface) and AG (GAFS-R) accounting interface does not require cost elements, thus the Mass Appropriation Update process should permit the user to update the interface system code when the from or to is either AY or AG.
Recommended:
Update the Mass Appropriation Update program to allow users to update DPAS supported accounting interfaces to accounting interface cd of "AY" (No Automated Interface) or AG (GAFS-R) .
Mission Critical:
Mass Appropriation Update currently exists but is limited by its current design. This change will enable users to perform the update without customer support / scripting by the DPAS support teams.
Benefits:
Users can handle mass appropriation updates that involve AY or AG without having to request scripts that have the possibility of handling thousands of transactions. The functionality is already largely in the program, it just needs improved to support different accounting interfaces.
Frequency:
Daily
Users:
Many users use this program and can use it at any time. The job runs daily through queued appropriation updates.
