## PARTIAL FMS 224

**PARTIAL FMS 224**
**P224**

## P224 Overview

**Partial FMS 224 (P224) is the transitional tool Federal Program Agencies (FPAs) use when becoming GWA reporters**
**The P224 application sends data to GWA and GWA passes the data to STAR (Central Accounting System) **
**In the future, agencies will no longer report transactions on P224**
**The reclassification tool will be developed to do real time reclassification of their Treasury Account Symbols and activity type **

**Notes:**
P224 application in the context of IPAC and Payments (Collections works differently in that SAM assigns C-Keys to txns so GWA knows where and how to classify txn)
	take reporter information out of GOALS II Citrix (you know as FMS 224 application)
	we put agency into GWA, so for agency, now P224 replaces FMS224
	for txns in IPAC, agency manually enters TAS/BETC info hits send.  Info gets to GWA with txn info on it, so we know what it is and how much.  Our systems take this info and post it to STAR for you.  No longer go in to FMS 224 at end of month, only go into P224 if you see data we posted is incorrect to reclassify in section 1
	for txns in Payments, now reporters are having TAS/BETC hard coded on each txns by us, so we then take that and post it to STAR and same as IPAC, agency goes into P224 to reclassfy anything incorrect.
	now, generally nothing incorrect since this process is hardcoded, but in Oct 09, when SPS has ability to accept manually entered TAS/BETC, agencies will be doing process similar to IPAC where they will attach a TAS/BETC to payment schedule through SPS, SPS sends to GWA, GWA sends to STAR

**We keep talking about STAR, once GWA Project fully implemented, GWA will become system of record so we can present info you are providing to us on a real time basis and you can conduct business on real time basis (initiate txns and reclass txns)

GWA Reporter Categories are as follows: 
Intragovernmental Only, 
Collections Only, 
Payments Only, 
Intragovernmental and Collections, 
Intragovernmental and Payments, 
Payments and Collections, 
 Intragovernmental, Collections, and Payments.

## Agency Benefits 	

**No Statement of Difference**
**No end of the month reporting**
**Reclassification**
**Transactions not processed the “GWA Way”**
**Reduction of on-line entry by copying repetitive data fields**
**Ability to process transactions on-line via the Internet**
**One user id, one password, one access entry point**

## How is it different from FMS 224?

**FMS 224**
**Section 1 - classify and reclassify transactions **
**Section 2 - report IPAC, TDO Payments (RFC Agency Link information) **
**Section 3 - CA$HLINK transactions**
**P224 **
**If needed, agencies only need to use section 1 of the P224 to do transaction reclassification **
**Transaction will be reported for you depending on which Source Systems have been implemented to report the “GWA Way”**

## P224 Functions Online Interface System

## Online Interface System 

**The Partial 224 Online application contains four sections (tabs): **
**Section 1: Reclassifications**
**Section 2: Payments**
**Section 3: Collections**
**Section 4: the Information tab **
**The Preparer is able to enter data into Sections 1, 2, and 3 based on the type of transactions the agency reports combined with the implementation of each source system as GWA Reporter **
** ****IPAC – currently implemented  **
** ****RFC Payments (TDO Payments) – currently in Piloting phase, GWA Reporting capability starting October 2009 **
** ****CA$HLINK (TRS) - 2nd Quarter 2008**
**Implementation of source systems allows sections/lines of the Partial 224 application to be enabled or disabled**
**The Balance section is informational only**

**Notes:**
If IPAC only reporter, shut off section 2 payments and 3 collections
If IPAC reporter, leave section 2 for payments (don’t report IPAC) and section 3 for collections
Same concept for payment and collection, but since ALCs will be implemented differently than IPAC, may work differently
If payment only reporter, shut off section 2 payments and 3 collections
If payment reporter, leave section 2 for IPAC and section 3 for collections

## Partial 224 Sections

- 	**When all source systems are implemented, agencies will only need to report Reclassifications in Section 1. Until then, FMS is bringing on source systems one at a time starting with IPAC, then TDO Payments, and finally CA$HLINK II.**

## P224 Fiscal Year Enhancement

**The account structure currently entered in FMS 224 report allows for one character per fiscal year (maximum of three characters for multi-year including a slash)  **
**To avoid confusion and accommodate for accounts with fiscal years that span beyond a decade, the account structure in P224 will require four characters per fiscal year**
**For example, account "206/71234" will need to be entered as "202006/20071234".**

_**Examples**_
**Single Fiscal Year 4 digits:  **05**2001**0107** **
**No y****ear account  "X" 05X0107**
**Multi-year account 9 digits:  **05**1999/2000**0107** **

**Notes:**
Most obvious enhancement

This creates a problem for accounts with fiscal years that spans beyond a decade.  For example, account "17 6/8 1611" may be interpreted as 2006/2008 but in reality, it is for 1996/2008.  Another example is account "17 0/2 1611" that may have three interpretations:  2000/2002, 1990/2002, 1990/1992.  

## Information Tab
