Batch processing is utilized by agencies for convenience in reporting large volumes of property.
FEDS processes customer transactions and provides status on the transactions immediately. For those customers transmitting property reports in batch rather than on line, FEDS processes the transactions during an overnight cycle which is run Monday through Friday. FEDS is also used as a source of supply by customers seeking property that has been reported and is available for transfer. Agencies may search GSA's inventory through a process known as screening, and they may select property for transfer by freezing specific items. You can access FEDS through the FSS Personal Property Home Page.
