Page 8 L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER

Existing Orders with Missing Requesting Object Class Codes

The G-Invoicing Production and QA environments are being reviewed for Orders with missing Requesting 

Agency Budget Object Class Codes. These Orders must be updated before R5.1 is deployed to ensure agencies 

are not impacted by the new validation rule. The missing code can cause validation errors when an affected 

Order is modified. An email has been sent to the agency PMA and MAs with instructions. 

‒ Production

• Agencies with affected Orders were notified and needed to complete their required actions by April 24, 2023.

• Agency PMA/MAs were asked to update Orders or to provide a list of Object Class Code values for target Orders. 

• Budget Object Class Codes submitted via spreadsheet were processed on Wednesday May 3, 2023. Agencies were sent email 

notifications confirming the change. 

• The Production environment will continue to be monitored prior to R5.1 deployment and additional scripts executed if necessary. 

Production Support will work directly with Agency POCs as necessary. 

‒ QA 

• All Orders missing the Budget Object Class Code will be updated via Script immediately after Release 5.1 deployment to QA-C 

with Budget Object Class Code of “25.3 Goods and Services from Federal Sources”.

• Note: The implementation of this change in will not update the “last updated” time stamp so that it does not trigger a mass 

download of updated Orders for agencies that are testing in QA environments.

‒ If any agency requires assistance with this task reach out to your assigned AIT
Page 9 L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER

• The following enhancements are high priority following the mandate based on Agency requests. These 

enhancements will also require further ERP integration changes:

Release 6.0
Page 12 L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER

Treasury Single Sign-On (SSO) Migrating to CAIA

CAIA (Common Approach to Identity Assurance) provides a consistent user experience to authentication to the 

Fiscal Accounting applications. The CAIA solution is similar to the existing Treasury Single Sign-On system 

known as ISIM. ISIM will be replaced with SailPoint IdentityIQ to allow users to authenticate to Treasury 

applications using a form of multifactor authentication (1. PIV/PIV-I, CAC 2. Login.gov 3. ID.me)

• The new Treasury mandate is for CAIA to be implemented by end of Q3 2023 (Calendar Year) for all Fiscal Accounting 

applications. 

• If you do not have a PIV-I/CAC card, emails are being sent in waves to G-Invoicing agencies. The first wave of 

communications were sent last week and expect all emails to be sent out by end of week (05/12). Please note the updated 

link below to register with a Credential Service Provider (CSP) of your choice. This will ensure the identity proofing step is 

completed.

https://iiq.fiscal.treasury.gov

• If you have a PIV-I/CAC and have not linked, please do so immediately. 

‒ Instructions for linking your PIV-I or CAC can be found here and can be verified here.

‒ If agencies would like to verify who has not linked their card within their agency, it’s advised to reach out to users internally and 

have them verify through the link provided above.

modification

• Eliminates the need to reapprove the Order to get it back to its previously approved state

• Ability to compare changes to previous versions of Order modifications

• Ability to print previous versions of Orders (7600B) out of G-Invoicing

Release TBD
Page 14 L EAD ∙ T RANSFORM ∙ D ELIVER

• Enhanced Order Modification Capabilities

– Bi-directional Order Modification

• Allow either trading partner to initiate an Order Modification

• Performance Amount

features and enhancements, ensure Accessibility compliance and improve consistency of 

the UI and User Experience
