GFP Attachment Workflow diagram: Create GFP Attachment
The GFP Attachment may be created by an external system by submitting a GFP Attachment XML via GEX. External systems must have a valid user registered and active for the GFP Initiator role.
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 / Contract Modification
After the GFP Approver approves the GFP Attachment, a utility program will check EDA for the contract award /contract modification. The utility will continue to check EDA each night until it is found. An EDA report will be made available to identify GFP Attachments with contract awards/contract modifications not in EDA. Also, the GFP Approver will be informed via email (one time only).
Once the contract award /contract modification is found in EDA, the program will update the GFP Attachment with the Contract CAGE Code, the Contract Effective Date, and the Purchase Request Number. A PDF copy of the GFP Attachment will be saved to EDA and the GFP Attachment will be made available via a web service to the Contract Writing System(s). An XML version of the GFP Attachment will be sent to Data Lake.
Once the status in the GFP Module is “Approved”, the GFP Attachment will be available in View Only mode to GFP Attachment Vendor View Only Roles registered and active for the Contract CAGE Code.
GFP Attachment Workflow diagram: Solicitation / Solicitation Amendment
After a GFP Attachment to a Solicitation or Solicitation Amendment, has been approved, the GFP Attachment will be made available via a web service to the Contract Writing System(s). An XML version of the GFP Attachment will be sent to Data Lake.
