1. How will Transfer Voucher number be recorded in STARS? (Date posted – 2/24/04)
A. The STARS Work for Others (WFO) segment will be used for intra and interoffice transfer information. Values are required to be defined within STARS before the file can be accepted.
2. What is the process for assigning WFO values? (Date posted – 8/3/05)
A. A range of WFO values will be assigned to each office, and the values are to be assigned locally. How the range of values are assigned to the Integrated Contractors will be determined by the respective field office. Assigned values will be forwarded to HQ on a regular basis so the values can be created in STARS and the monthly files can be processed. At this time, values have only been assigned to legacy values. We will receive ranges for future values just before we go live.
3. Why is DOE cross walking the customers order number to their own? In order to bill and collect timely and accurately we need the customer’s order number. Will we be required to maintain in our internal systems two numbers, one for DOE and one for the customer? (Date posted – 2/24/04)
A. We are not changing the numbering scheme of the agreement numbers. The original agreement number (i.e., the customer's order number) will exist in the WFO field description. The STARS WFO field is a numeric value assigned to represent the actual agreement number. The WFO field will remain a 7 position field in STARS.
4. Has the department lost the ability to track fund type 58 collections? (Date posted – 4/06/04)
A. The WFO collections will be tracked in STARS using the new 92xx series of memorandum accounts.
