Add a Federal DATA Act Balance Field

You can add new Federal DATA Act Balance fields.

   • Type: The type of calculation required for the DATA Act field.

     Options include:

     • Balances: Summed amount of selected USSGL accounts for the time period selected.
     • Total: Summation of at least one DATA Act balance field for the time period selected.
   • File A: Indicates if the balance field is included in File A.
   • File B: Indicates if the balance field is included in File B.
   • File C: Indicates if the balance field is included in File C.
     Note: At least one file (File A, File B, or File C) and a Type must be selected to define the detail for each DATA Act Balance.
