Assumptions

Here are a few things to keep in mind when you use the Classification Transactions and Accountability (CTA) process:

• Reclassification at the detail level is only available during the current month in CARS for CTA.

• For a payment to be reclassified, the payment must be voided in full.

• Multiple agency location codes (ALCs) might be reported in the same CTA file using separate ALC records.

• All federal payments are reported to CARS with ALC, TAS (treasury agency symbol), and BETC (business event type code) attributes.

• In exception cases, an agency might take responsibility for reporting another agency’s cash reclassifications. In such cases, the Trading Partner TAS and BETC must be entered on the source transaction and reported to CTA.
