  Description
  The SFIS "Standard Financial Information Structure" has recently published the FY18 list of USSGL "United States Standard General Ledger" account structure for use within DoD.  As a financial feeder system, DPAS does provide its users with a pseudo Trial Balance. While it would not be required to conform the SFIS USSGL chart of accounts, it would be beneficial to its users to make it easier crosswalk the values in DPAS to their actual Trial Balance being produced from the Financial System, should the agency wish to do so. Today, DPAS's USSGL General Ledger Account Code consist of a 4 digit primary USSGL and a 2 digit sub USSGL. The SFIS General Ledger Account Code consists of a 6 digit primary USSGL and a 4 digit sub USSGL. http://dcmo.defense.gov/Products-and-Services/Standard-Financial-Information-Structure/

  Recommended
  Modify the DPAS GLAC Reference Lookup table to support a 6 digit primary USSGL and a 4 digit sub USSGL and implement the values contained within the SFIS USSGL Transaction Library.  DPAS does have several point accounts than what the SFIS USSGL Transaction Library includes as it points the asset accounts to denote Funded and Unfunded amounts as well as for Military Equipment, Non-Military Equipment within GLAC 175000 along with the capability to identify at the Trial Balance level equipment that is In Use, In transit, and Not In Use.  This change would apply to the PA and Materiel Mgt modules of DPAS. 

  Mission Critical
  This SCR is considered essential for those users who do not have an automated interface with their financial accounting system.

  Benefits
  Update DPAS's USSGL to conform to the SFIS USSGL Transaction Library.

  Users
  This SCR would affect any customer that has a financially reportable asset.
