The13th Month Close (Fiscal Year 2017 Soft Close), initially scheduled to take place on July 15, 2017, has been moved to July 21, 2017. 

A web story was posted on June 27, 2017, indicating, “ITA type documents are not allowing BFY to be entered and are defaulting to the current BFY.”

This issue has not yet been resolved.  In the meantime, ITA type documents can be processed in Fiscal Year 2018 with the defaulting BFY and then an IET transfer document can be used to post to the correct BFY.  

If ITI/ITA documents must be processed in Fiscal Year 2017 before the 13th month is closed on 7/15/17, please contact your AFIS liaison as soon as possible for further instructions.

Please note that GAO’s cutoff for processing MDWT1s in AFIS is 1 pm, in order to meet the Treasurer’s deadline.  Any MDWT1 sent after this time will be rejected and the wire will be processed the following business day. 

Rejected documents from ProcureAZ with the creation date of 6/30/2017 or older were discarded from the Document Catalog in AFIS. The rejected documents were initiated from ProcureAZ, but were not posted successfully in AFIS. Rejected documents include:
