In the upcoming weeks, OSBM will release your FY2005 budget to post to NCAS.  Remember that posting the certified budget to NCAS takes a minimum of two nightly production cycles.  In the first cycle, the BPS to NCAS interface posts the certified budget batch to the Suspended Batch Master (SBM) file within General Ledger.  In the second cycle, the agency reviews the suspended batch and releases it for posting.  Additionally, if your agency processed two-year budget revisions (606’s) last year in BRS, the second year portion of the revisions posts as a second batch to the SBM file. 

The following information technology account codes are invalid:

For FY2004, many agencies processed a two-year budget revision to move balances from the invalid accounts to valid ones.  The invalid accounts are inactive in General Ledger.  Do not activate these accounts for FY2005.  Use your interface reports and the C-U-GL-SBM-VALIDATION-REPORT from the GLPUBLIC library to confirm that balances in the invalid accounts offset between the BPS interface batch and the BRS 2nd Year 606 batch.  When both batches post to General Ledger, the invalid entries will post to the suspense account/center (99999999899/999999999998) with a net zero balance.  Do not release the batches from SBM until you verify that the entries to the four invalid accounts net to zero at the company/account/center level between the two SBM batches.  For assistance or questions about this process, please call the Helpdesk at (919)875-4357. 

If you did not correct your FY2004 budget with a two-year budget revision, please contact your OSBM analyst to change the account codes in BPS before your budget is pushed to NCAS.
