Implementation
Payroll Obligation Estimates
For Agencies having payroll obligation estimates computed by the National Finance Center (NFC), 100 percent of PP17 costs will be used to estimate PP19 costs that occurred in FY 2017.
Accounting Data Distribution
Unlike previous fiscal years, PP19 is now fully encompassed within FY17, so Agencies can use stored accounting. T&As should be prepared as they normally are, but split T&As are not required to properly record FY17/FY18 monies.
Payroll Costs
Payroll costs for PP18 will be obligated, paid, and reported in September 2017.
