According to the finalized definition, the DATA Act element appropriations account is represented by TASF, which according to the element's draft whitepaper consists of the following:
agency id
allocation transfer agency id
beginning POA (period availability)
ending POA
availability type code
main account code
Another DATA Act element, TAS (excluding sub account) is listed as an award characteristic. The same whitepaper shows that TAS, less the sub account, contains the same components as TAFS.
Data Mapping Question
Is the account-level appropriations account (i.e., TAFS) actually different from an award's TAS? If not, will agencies need to map both? Or is the point to map one from agency financial systems and one from agency award systems to see if they match?
