TIPS & TRICKS

Enter Online Authorizations

Tips imageUpdate to Cumulative Authorized Amount and Available Balance

Authorizations that have been submitted are saved with a status of Uncertified (U) and must be certified before the Cumulative Authorized Amount and Available Balance are updated. Once you submit the authorization , a notification is sent to the Certifying Official that there are new authorizations awaiting certification. Once the Certifying Official approves the authorization, the Cumulative Authorized Amount will update.

Commas and decimals are not required, however, acceptable. Special characters, such as dollar sign ($) are not allowable. Authorizations up to $ 99,999,999,999.99 can be entered.

 ASAP.gov will perform another validation and update the "totals box" at the bottom of the page. If no errors exist, you will advance to Step 4. However, if errors persist, you will not advance to Step 4 and will be advised as to which pages contain errors. Click "Submit" again to go to Step 4.

Tips imageExisting Data Upon Clicking Add More Accounts

ASAP.gov stores previously entered authorization transactions that are available to you via the "View Pending Items " button. (When you get to Step 3, all entered transactions are displayed). The number of existing transactions is also identified below the button. There is no limit to the number of times you can “add more accounts”.
