Letter from PAM Project Sponsor Regarding the SPS and PAM File Formats with GWA Changes

PAM will be ready to support the initiatives of Governmentwide Accounting by October 2009.

• PACER will calculate accounting entries for aftermath transactions based on Treasury Account Symbol (TAS)/Business Event Type Code (BETC) information provided by PAM.
  
  
• PACER will provide schedule level/document level TAS/BETC information to Café/GWA.
  
  
• For benefit agencies PAM will derive TAS/BETC and send to PACER.
  
  
• PAM will not validate TAS/BETC information, rather it will just pass them along to GWA.
  
  
• Same Day Payment Schedules will need TAS/BETC.
  
  
• Third Party 440 format and DEO upload into on-line SPS.
  
  
• Certified amounts at schedule level are official Agency Accounting Entries.
  
  
• The Shared Accounting Module (SAM) will provide the Agency Location Codes (ALCs) with GWA Player identifier to SPS to specify who is required to report TAS/BETC. SPS will validate the TAS/BETC and amounts prior to certifying the Schedule and sending it to PAM.
