General Fund Enterprise Business System
Abstract
GF5 - General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS): GFEBS is the Army's core financial management system for administering its General Fund. Full Deployment was reached in 2012 and the system is currently in the Capability Support (sustainment) phase of the Business Acquisition Cycle, focused on modernization, cyber security, and system enhancements while also conducting capability enhancements to meet policy and deliver a more accurate picture of Army financial awareness. GFEBS was implemented to fulfill the needs and enable the Army to comply with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act, it is utilized by over 35,000 users across 200 locations worldwide. GFEBS was developed using a commercial off-the-shelf Enterprise Resource Planning system that is certified by the Chief, Financial Officer Council and provides six core financial functions (United States General Ledger (USGL), Cost Management, Funds Control, Payable Management, Real Property, Receivable Management and Reports). GFEBS Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDTE) funding in fiscal year (FY) 2023 will continue to support the completion of the audit-related system enhancements which will give the Army an auditable financial system designed to meet audit readiness standards as outlined by the United States Government Accountability Office, as well as the continuation of system changes as prioritized by the functional sponsor and user community through the Tactical Financial Information Council, a Senior Executive Service/General Officer-level board. The FY 2023 funding will continue to support increases in mission performance and improvement of automatized system processes. Continue efforts to support modernization efforts aligned with the Original Equipment Manufacturer's Systems Applications and Products (SAP) next generation capability, activities include code de-customization, data enablement, and improved automated data access to prevent end of support for the current database and platform. Funds will also support acquisition trades and market research on alternatives for SAP based finance/logistics consolidation to evaluate potential efficiencies by reducing platforms and licenses.
