Introduction

Currently, all collections, payments and intragovernmental transactions (txns) are reported through Treasury 

processing systems and financial institutions on a daily basis at the Agency Location Code (ALC) level. 

Agencies then classify those transactions monthly by a Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) on the FMS 224. 

This creates a Fund Balance with Treasury (FBWT) Statement of Difference that the agencies have to 

reconcile at least a month after the original transactions have been processed. 

To help agencies to reconcile their FBWT accounts on a daily basis, the Governmentwide Accounting 

(GWA) Modernization Project will require agencies to provide a standard classification [TAS and Business 

Event Type Code (BETC) or Ckey to be translated to a TAS/BETC] at the inception of all transactions. As 

a result, GWA will be able to capture detailed transaction information on an Account Statement that will be 

updated daily. Agencies will be able to reference their Account Statement daily to help to reconcile their 

FBWT. 

Implementation of these GWA goals will require extensive changes to FMS systems as well as updates to 

agency systems. To facilitate incremental implementation of the GWA Project, a Partial 224 (P224) will be 

available to allow agencies to report each section of the P224 independently of each other. Agencies will 

only have to report sections of the P224 where the transactions are NOT being reported with the GWA 

standard classification. This document will identify the business rules to accomplish this. 

 

Current FMS 224 Processing

Agencies classifiy their transactions on the FMS 224 according to the FMS system that processes them. For 

example, the net amount of all transactions that are processed through IPAC and the net amount of all 

Treasury Disbursing Office (TDO) Payments are recorded in Section 2; and the net amount of all 

transactions that are processed through CA$HLINK II (CLII) are recorded in Section 3.1

 Section I on the 

FMS 224 is used for classifying all individual transactions or reclassifying any corrections by TAS. For 

more information on the FMS 224, see Part 2 – Chapter 3300 of the Treasury Financial Manual (TFM) at 

www.fms.treas.gov. 

New Partial 224 Business Rules

The report format (Appendix B) and bulk file layouts (Appendix C) for the P224 are identical to the FMS 

224. The GWA standard classification does NOT get captured here. Only transactions that are 

processed through IPAC, TDO Payments and/or CA$HLINK II that do NOT include the GWA standard 

classification as well as both GWA and Non-GWA transaction reclassifications will need to be captured on 

the P224. 

 

1

 Please note, that while CLII primarily processes collection transactions, there are other CLII mechanisms, such as ASAP that 

processes disbursements and Fedtax II that processes intragovernmental (both collection/disbursement) transactions. (See Apendix A 

for a sample of CL II processing mechanisms) 
Partial 224 Business Rules

The following P224 Business Rules will explain how an ALC will report transactions to the P224 as the ALC begins 

the GWA standard classification 

Step 1 – Identify an ALC’s Business Activity

An ALC’s Business Activity relates to the three systems: IPAC, TDO Payments and CA$HLINK II that can p

o What type of transactions does each ALC report on its current FMS 224?o What FMS processing systems does the ALC use: IPAC, TDO Payments and/or CA$HLINK II?

 There are seven different ALC Business Activity types depending on what type(s) of transactions an ALC currently 

FMS 224. An ALC can report for: A. IPAC Only 

 B. CA$HLINK II Only  C. TDO Payments Only  D. IPAC and CA$HLINK II  E. IPAC and TDO Payments  F. TDO Payments and CA$HLINK II  G. IPAC, CA$HLINK II and TDO Payments 

The following chart identifies the ALC Business Activity Type, description and the available P224 Sections.

Step 2 – Identify the ALC’s GWA Reporter Category:

WA standard classification, the GWA system will populate that approp

Therefore, the ALC will ONLY nee

system in determining what section(s) will/will n

Each ALC, depending on their ALC Business Activity, will use one of the seven GWA Reporter Categories to repor

classification transactions or to reclassify any transaction (GWA or non-GWA) that needs to be reclassified. Reclass

files on the P224 as for the FMS 224. For example, if the ALC’s Business Activity is (E) IPAC and TDO Paymentsinclude the GWA standard classification, but IPAC does, any TDO Payment and/or IPAC corrections will be captureSection 1 on the P224. Business Rule - reclassifications m

The following P224 Available Section Chart identifies what sections are available to an ALC depending on its Busines

Reporter Category. Any other use of the P224 by this ALC will be rejected. Note: An ALC is considered a full reporter when it is reporting all of its transaction types to GWA and is only using Se

Step 4 – Identify the ALC’s P224 Movement 

An ALC can move FROM one GWA Reporter Category to another depending on the ALC’s Business Activity. An ALC 

different GWA Reporter Category at the beginning of each month through a pre-arranged agreement with GWA. 

The following P224 Transition to Full GWA Reporter Chart identifies all the possible scenarios of how an ALC can

Explanation of Fields: 

1. Field 1 (Record Type) refer to Record Type Table below. 

2. Field 2 (Number) refers to the number of the FMS 224 submitted for an ALC for each accounting 

period. For example, the original 224 should be “0”; supplemental 1 would be “1” and so forth. 

3. Field 3 (ALC) refers to the 8 digit agency location code, without embedded dashes. 

4. Field 4 (Appropriation number) should be left justified. Account numbers must be formatted as follows: 

(a) For a transfer account (Ex: 20-18X1005), the account must be formatted as 2018X1005. 

(b) For an account with a point or sub number at the end (Ex. 20X8135 (02) or 20X8135.2), the 

account must be formatted as 20X8135.2. 

(c) For account with a subclass prefix code (Ex. (88)20X1806), the account must be formatted 

(88)20X1806. 

Fiscal year formatted as follows:

(d) No Year account is formatted ‘X’ (Ex. 12X4336) 

(e) 4 digits for single fiscal year (Ex. 2007) 

(f) Multi-year fiscal year – 8 digits. Slash required (Ex. 2007/2008) 

(g) If no fiscal year, then no blanks or zeroes are required. 

5. Field 5 (Entry Number) refers to the sequence of a repeated appropriation number of the FMS 224. This 

number would only be different than “1” if the same appropriation number is used more than once; there 

must be an entry number for each appropriation number. 

6. Field 6 (Amount) must include pennies (but no decimal places with the number), and must be right 

justified. Any unused positions should be filled with zeroes. The negative sign should be in the far left 

hand position. 
 19

7. Field 7 (Transaction Date) should be in MMYY format. If the month is less than 10, it must be preceded 

by a zero. Example: April is 0400, not 400. If no transaction date, leave blank spaces (leave blank 

unless agency is reporting prior month activity). 

8. Field 8 (Report Date) must be in YYMMDD format. Example: May 2006 is 060531.
