GFP User Roles

The GFP Attachment may be created via the GFP Module Web interface by users registered and active for the GFP Initiator role or the GFP Approver role. The Web create will allow the user creating the document to import data from the Excel Template Spreadsheet or to populate data from a previously created GFP Attachment. The user may also manually create a GFP Attachment without importing or populating data.


GFP Attachment Workflow diagram: Contract Award or Contract Modification

GFP User Roles

After the GFP Approver approves the GFP Attachment, an automated system job checks EDA once a day for the contract award or contract modification. For any GFP Attachments with contract awards or contract modifications that are not in EDA, EDA creates a report to identify them. The GFP Approver also receives a one-time email.

When EDA locates the contract award or contract modification, it updates the GFP Attachment with the Contract CAGE Code, the Contract Effective Date, and the Purchase Request Number. EDA saves the GFP Attachment as a PDF and sends it to the Contract Writing System(s).

When the status in the GFP Module is “Approved”, the GFP Attachment is available in View Only mode to GFP Attachment Vendor View Only Roles registered and active for the Contract CAGE Code.
