Because of the flexibility of the ASAP.gov Account ID (up to 20 characters long consisting of letters and/or numbers), the Federal Agency may choose to use its existing internal account identifier for the Account ID in the ASAP.gov system.
If ASAP will not accept a Treasury Account Symbol, to determine why this is a problem, you can perform a TAS/BETC inquiry to identify other symbols which may be acceptable.
If an account detail has a status of Closed, it will not appear in the list of account details when the account is retrieved for entering an authorization . If all of the account details are closed for a Control or Global Control account , the account will not be retrieved.
A quarterly Maximum Draw Amount can be designated for an account. Additionally, the agency can allow any portion of the Maximum Draw Amount not used from the prior quarter to carry forward to the next quarter for up to a year. If the agency wants to allow this “Rollover” feature, a Rollover Reset Quarter must be designated, otherwise, the Maximum Draw Amount will reset to zero at the beginning of every quarter. The Rollover Reset Quarter defaults to ‘None’ , which does not allow the carryover feature. It is advisable that global and global control accounts have Maximum Draw Amounts set in order to comply with proper cash management regulations.
Once an account has been assigned a TAS/BETC distribution method (confirmation received), the only option to change it is to delete or close the account and start over. When selecting the TAS distribution method on Step 1 Continued, it can be changed prior to clicking 'Submit' on Step 3.
Percentage by Account and Percentage by Detail are the available TAS/BETC Distribution Methods available to ASAP accounts. Percentage by Accounts allows up to 100 TAS/BETCs to be defined on an account. The percentages assigned to all TAS’ must total 100%. Percentage by Detail (Sub Account) allows only one TAS/BETC to be defined per Account Detail (up to 300) for a Control or Global Control account.
