GTAS Reporting for U.S. Federal

Use the Government-wide Treasury Account Symbol Adjusted Trial Balance System (GTAS) reporting feature to generate full budgetary and proprietary trial balance data along with federal attributes for monthly reporting to the US Treasury. This feature includes the accumulation process to associate attributes with journal line data, bulk file creation process to report trial balance data in the Treasury-defined format, exception reports, GTAS trial balance report, GTAS transaction register report, and GTAS interface report. The enhanced functionality provides flexibility to the user to map federal attributes in the application.

The Manage Federal Attributes page provides a flexible and transparent page to map federal attributes to Fusion fields and lookups. Attributes can be mapped to GL accounts, funds, ledger segments, suppliers, purchase orders, and federal attribute supplemental rules.

The Federal Attribute Supplemental Rules page maps Fusion segment combinations to federal attributes and overrides previously assigned attribute assignments.

The GTAS Accumulation process selects source data from GL Journal Header and Lines tables, associates them with GTAS attributes, and stores the data in the Federal Balances table for reference.

The GTAS Balances page allows users to review the results of the GTAS Accumulation program before creating the bulk file. If the user finds an issue with the source data or attributes, the user can make the required changes and then rerun the Accumulation program.

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

Several reports are created to assist with error handling and reporting.

  1. The Accumulation Exceptions report lists any high-level editing issues identified in the Accumulation process, while the Bulk File Exception report identifies issues found in the GTAS Bulk File Creation process.
  1. The GTAS Bulk File Interface Report provides the USSGL account balances and attributes that are captured in the GTAS bulk file. The report is generated from data reported in the bulk file.
  1. The GTAS Trial Balance report includes USSGL balances at the GTAS attribute level of detail and is run ad hoc.
  1. The GTAS Transaction Register Report includes USSGL journal line activity at the GTAS attribute level of detail. This report is generated during the Accumulation process.

Business benefits include:

  • GTAS is the primary means of reporting agency trial balance data, including proprietary financial reporting information and information about budget execution, to the Department of the Treasury.
  • Fiscal Service uses that information to meet its requirements from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and to compile the Financial Report of the U.S. Government.
