To complete the fiscal year and close the financial records, Agencies users cannot access SFS Production financial functions after 5pm on March 30, 2021.

SFS will be unavailable for financial transactions during the FYE event beginning at 5pm until the completion of the event. Users of non-financial functions will continue to have access to the functionality as authorized by SFS for their business needs.

SFS has made improvements to the FYE processes, which have resulted in changes in capabilities from previous events. See Operational Advisory 24 for further details.

A System Alert will be sent out by the SFS Help Desk when agencies may officially resume work on financial transactions. An extended FYE event is not anticipated. Upon resumption, Agencies may resume work with appropriation inforce or for lapse period processing. New fiscal year appropriations are dependent on the budget process and cannot be placed into SFS transacting until budget processes are complete.
