Q. |
What is TGAnet? |
|
Q. |
How often should I view deposits? |
| |
TGAnet enables Federal Program Agency (FPA) users to report over-the-counter (OTC) receipts in a secure, web-based system. In addition to the summary deposit information currently required on the paper SF 215, TGAnet collects sub-total accounting information that can feed the FPA's administrative accounting systems as well as the Treasury's central accounting system (GWA). Since TGAnet's database stores both the financial and accounting data entered by the FPA deposit preparer, Financial Institutions (FIs) are no longer required to re-key the accounting information needed by Treasury into CA$HLINKII. This streamlined business process benefits all of TGAnet's stakeholders - FPAs, FIs, and FMS.
See About TGAnet for more details.

|
All viewers, preparers, approvers, and confirmers should view deposits at least once a day to verify that all information is current. Also reference the "Standard Operating Procedures" in your online training course.

|
Q. |

How will the Financial Institution know whether a deposit is to be entered into CA$HLINK II or TGAnet? |
|
Q. |
What would I do in the unlikely event that TGAnet is unavailable? |
| |
All SF215 deposits must be entered into CA$HLINK II. A TGAnet deposit ticket indicates that manual entry into CA$HLINK II is not needed.
|
|
|
TGAnet should always be available to assigned users with exception to scheduled TWAI and TGAnet outages for maintenance. These outages will be communicated well in advance. If you should ever experience unexpected difficulties accessing the program see the "contingency document" at Related Resources.

| |
|
Q. |
How are return items to be handled? (FI) |

|
Q. |
What is a TAS? |

|
|
A TAS is a Treasury account symbol that represents a category or source of collections.
|
| |
|
Q. |
During the conversion process, will there be communication between each Agency and Financial Institution? |
|
Q. |
What is the difference between the "voucher date" and "deposit date"? |
| |
Yes, the conversion process encourages interaction between Agency and Financial Institution. Most Agencies will contact their Financial Institutions for account information prior to conversion.
|
|
|
The voucher date represents the date that an Agency presents or mails a deposit to its Financial Institution. The deposit date represents the date the Financial Institution sends the deposit to CA$HLINK II. While these two dates will usually be the same, the two must be distinguished to record any differences.
|
| |
|
Q. |
How will Agencies and Financial Institutions be informed of changes? |
|
Q. |
If I confirm a deposit with the wrong CAN, how can I correct it? (FI) |
| |
The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis plans to work very closely with each TGAnet Agency and Financial Institution to ensure that all changes are communicated early and often through the Treasury Support Center.
|
|
|
A Deposit Confirmer can change the CAN on a confirmed deposit in TGAnet by selecting "update" if the deposit has not been swept to CA$HLINK II. If the deposit has been swept to CA$HLINK II, a Confirmer can change the CAN by selecting "edit" but must also contact CA$HLINK II to complete the adjustment.
|
| |
|
Q. |
What is TWAI? |
|
Q. |
How will conversion schedules be communicated? |
| |
TWAI stands for the Treasury Web Application Infrastructure. TWAI is an environment that houses Treasury Web applications of all types including TGAnet. TWAI UPS, or TWAI User Provisioning Service, offers security administrators the ability to control user access to their applications in TWAI.
|
|
|
The Federal Reserve Bank will work with each Agency to create a conversion schedule. Financial Institutions will be notified of conversion as Agency TGA account holders are identified.
See Agency Conversion
or FI Conversion for more details.
