DATA Act File Flow

The DATA Act process will first populate all staging tables with logic defined as follows:

  1. TAS components are derived from the fund using the Fund Attributes page.
  2. Balance fields are defined on the DATA Act Balances page and contain the calculation using USSGL accounts and operators.
  3. 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.
  4. The file type is defined in DATA Act Balance Sequencing, but selected as a parameter when running the process.
  5. The files are then created according to the defined sequencing.
  6. The agency first reviews the file and then sendsit to Treasury for reporting.
