  15. B09 ReportPrime Vendor Line Item Report Transmitted from FSC on Monday mornings Includes CD transactions for the previous Monday through Friday All charges for one account are shown under one Document ID number and show as one total for the day on DXRF table in FMS
  16. B09 Report, continued Obligation Number in FMS column determines which 1358 is charged in FMS Valid Obligation Number charges or credits that obligation, open or closed Invalid Obligation Number causes reject in FMS Fiscal enters correct obligation number in FMS and corrects reject
  17. 1358 – What do my Balances Mean? Authorization Amount is entire amount obligated Authorization Balance is your available balance; the portion of the Authorization Amount which you have not entered Daily Activity entries for, and should equal the Unliquidated Balance Cumulative Authorization Amount should equal Authorization Amount
  18. 1358 – What do my Balances Mean? Liquidations are postings by Fiscal to match B09 report postings Unliquidated Balance is your available balance and should equal your Authorization Balance
  19. Why a 1358? Why not a 2237? 1358 used instead of 2237/purchase order because 1358 provides tracking mechanism Provides accurate picture of monthly/quarterly/yearly expenditures
