  Change Request: New System Process

  
  

  Description:

  In the new enterprise accounting, a number of failure points are possible in the processing of accounting transactions. To handle these failures, we need to capture the failed transactions and handle various scenarios that could cause the failure. This includes a procedure for "auto-reprocessing" of transactions that initially failed processing; adding a "GUID" column to the Inventory Transaction table to store a unique transaction identifier for the inventory event; creating a Pendulum job from the accounting microservice to capture GUIDs added,  compare and find missing transactions on a schedule (e.g., every 15 minutes); store GUID with validation message; and create a user interface in the DPAS Administration module for Admin user to resolve the issues and reprocess transactions to complete.

   

  Recommended:

  DPAS will handle accounting transaction errors and failures, providing a procedure for auto-reprocessing as well as providing a method for capturing and handling failed transactions, as well as create a user interface for manual resolution for transactions that are unsuccessful.

   

  Mission Critical:

  Per DoD FMR 7000.14, the DoD Components must account for assets. Per FIAR, they must have audit ready financial statements. Failed transactions that are not processed or reconciled will prevent these agencies from meeting their financial reporting requirements in a timely manner.

   

  Benefits:

  Significantly reduce, with potential to eliminate, out of balance accounts.  This SCR is in support of the DPAS modernization effort as it relates to the accounting and reporting of capital assets costs and depreciation.

   

  Frequency: Hourly

   

  Users:

  Accounting users. This will impact enterprise accounting which will affect a growing number of users as more use the accounting processes in MM/ICP.
