simplify the management of vendor invoices and intra- governmental transactions. IPP is interfaced with FMS in real-time; the IPP interface with FMS is managed by FSD while IPP system administration is managed by the Accounting Division.
• JP Morgan Chase credit card interface is used to transmit credit card payment data via a batch file to FMS.
• National Finance Center (NFC), as part of a cross-servicing agreement with the Department of Agriculture, provides payroll and personnel services to AOC. Managed by AOC’s Human Capital Management Division, payroll transactions are interfaced via a batch file through the Operational Data Store (ODS) to FMS.
• Operational Data Store (ODS), maintained by AOC’s Information Technology Division, is AOC’s payroll and personnel database and is used as a warehouse for detailed employee payroll information. The ODS receives a batch file of NFC payroll data and creates a batch file of payroll transactions for interfacing to FMS.
• Project Information Center (PIC) is an AOC- developed system used to track the status of projects. Budget and obligation data is interfaced from FMS to PIC.
• System for Award Management (SAM) was created by the General Services Administration (GSA) to consolidate several legacy acquisition and award support systems into one government-wide system. These legacy systems include Central Contractor Registration (CCR), Federal Agency Registration and others. CCR, the only system within SAM used by AOC, provides information on vendors that do business with the Federal Government.
Financial Systems Division Strategies
ICS was upgraded to Maximo® version 7.1.1.12 in FY 2014. This minor upgrade was necessary in order to ensure that ICS remains compatible with AOC’s approved Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser version. FSD also successfully converted all the existing USSGL accounts in FMS from four to six digits. This conversion was helpful in eliminating much of the manual work that went into creating some key financial reports generated by the Accounting Division.
Other projects that FSD started in FY 2014 included implementing enhancements to the FMS-IPP interface. These enhancements are necessary to streamline some of the business processes that the Accounting Division accomplishes using IPP. Another project that FSD began in FY 2014 is the FMS Recoveries project. FSD will turn on the Recoveries functionality in FMS, which automatically places funding in a current no-year fund/budget when a de-obligation is processed on an order using a prior no-year fund. This will eliminate the need for the Budget Division to perform a manual carryover transaction before funds can be obligated. Both the FMS-IPP interface enhancements and the FMS Recoveries functionality will be implemented by early FY 2015.
FSD began working with the Library of Congress (LOC) in FY 2014 to start the process of migrating (transferring) the server hosting of both AOC’s instances of FMS and ICS to LOC’s Legislative Branch Shared Services Center (LBSSC). This migration was mandated by Congress and is expected to continue creating efficiencies by streamlining financial system processes and cutting system
