How GTAS Accumulation Data Is Processed

The Create Federal Files process generates files and reports to support the Office of Management and Budget’s reporting requirements for GTAS (Governmentwide Treasury Account Symbol Adjusted Trial Balance System).

Before you create the GTAS bulk file, you must run the GTAS accumulation process. You run the GTAS accumulation process by selecting the GTAS Accumulation Process mode of the Create Federal Files process. The GTAS accumulation process retrieves GTAS source data from the GL journal header and line tables, associates that data with GTAS attributes, and then stores the data in the temporary federal GTAS balances table for reference.
