Create GTAS Bulk File

After you run the GTAS accumulation process, you can run the GTAS Bulk File Creation process to create the GTAS bulk file.

Federal agencies can submit the bulk file to Treasury to meet the Office of Management and Budget’s reporting requirements for Governmentwide Treasury Account Symbol Adjusted Trial Balance System (GTAS).
Note: Run the GTAS Bulk File Creation process only after the GTAS Accumulation process completes successfully. Otherwise, the report will not generate the bulk file data.

The GTAS Bulk File Creation process creates the GTAS balances in a format that can be uploaded to Treasury.
