DATA Act File Flow
The DATA Act process will first populate all staging tables with logic defined as follows:
- TAS components are derived from the fund using the Fund Attributes page.
- Balance fields are defined on the DATA Act Balances page and contain the calculation using USSGL accounts and operators.
- File formats for Files A, B, and C are defined in the DATA Act Balance Sequencing page. Each file type is listed along with reportable balance fields in reporting order.
- The file type is defined in DATA Act Balance Sequencing, but selected as a parameter when running the process.
- The files are then created according to the defined sequencing.
- The agency first reviews the file and then sendsit to Treasury for reporting.
