Lesson 4: Screen Overviews

55 (550) Screen

This USAS screen is used to setup and update an RTI. The receiving agency assigns a number in the RTI field to give to the paying agency. The TRANS NO (transaction number) field has to be unique, especially if there are multiple coding lines for the RTI.

Descriptions of key fields are listed below the screen shot. You can also hover your cursor over purple field names in the screen shot to view descriptions.

Note: Do not use the AMOUNT field.

Field descriptions

AGENCY

Enter the three-digit RTI agency number.

TRANS NO

Enter the six-digit transaction number unique to the transaction string.

RTI

Enter the six-digit recurring transaction index (RTI). This number is provided to the transaction agency by the RTI agency.

Note: The recurring transaction profile is used as a coding reduction tool. If the % ALLOCATED field is used, the RTI is repeated for each allocation amount.

TRANS CODE

Enter the three-digit transaction code established in the Transaction Code Decision Profile (28A screen).

PCA

Enter the five-digit program cost account (PCA) number. The PCA updates the agency's strategic structure. It is a coding reduction element that may also infer appropriation number, fund, index, grant number, project number and NACUBO subfund. The NACUBO function must be inferred by the PCA for institutions of higher education.

Note: The PCA is required unless it is inferred by the index code.

COMP/AGY OBJ

Enter the four-digit comptroller revenue or expenditure object centrally established on the Comptroller Object Profile (D10).
Note: The comptroller object code can be inferred by the agency object.

Payments on interagency contracts to provide services should not be processed by the RTI agency as a refund of expenditures.

% ALLOCATED

Enter the percent allocated as a decimal. For example, enter 100 percent as 1.0.

Note: For an RTI with multiple transactions, the total of all percent amounts must equal 100 percent.

PDT

Enter T in the Payment Distribution Type (PDT) field.

APPN YR

Enter the two-digit appropriation year in which the revenue is to be recognized.

APPN NO

Enter the five-digit appropriation number. The number must be in the Appropriation Number Profile (20). This can be inferred by PCA or index.

FUND

Enter a four-digit fund number established on the Fund Profile (D23). This can be inferred by PCA or index.

STATUS CODE

Enter the status code. Defaults to A (Active).

Note: The transfer will not process if the STATUS CODE field is set to inactive.
