Manage Federal Attributes
Use the Manage Federal Attributes task to assign a federal attribute to a U.S. Federal Financials source field and lookup.
Use the Manage Federal Attributes page as a reference to identify how each attribute is mapped as it contains all the federal attributes even if the assigned field isn't editable.
You can also use the Manage Federal Attributes task to identify whether a federal attribute is used for GTAS (Governmentwide Treasury Account Symbol Adjusted Trial Balance System) and DATA Act (Digital Accountability and Transparency Act). You can delete federal attributes, and update the category and source values of all federal attributes except Program Activity Code.
- You can’t update the federal attribute name.
- You can’t delete a predefined federal attribute.
- You can’t delete a federal attribute if federal account attributes or federal supplemental rules are defined for that attribute.
Here’s the list of fields that you can define for a federal attribute:
