Robotics Process Automation (RPA) Carryover

Last fiscal year, a new Robotics Process Automation (RPA) was implemented to analyze and compare amounts available for spending in all unexpired multi-year and no-year funds against OMB approved apportionments on file. This analysis will occur again this year end after 11:59 p.m. EST on 9/30/2022 to ensure that only carryover balances supported by an apportionment will be available for spending in Oracle on 10/01/2022.

Scenario	Actions Prior to the Start of Business on October 1
Funds with no apportionment on file	The RPA will reclassify any end of year balances available for spending in Oracle to unavailable for spending. A fund-speciﬁc business (i.e., cross validation) rule will be established in Oracle to continue to prevent obligation and expenditure activity in the new BFY until an apportionment is received.
Funds with an apportionment on file	The RPA will compare end of year balances available for spending against the carryover estimate on the apportionment and reclassify any amount that exceeds the estimate to unavailable for spending.

In both scenarios, funds will remain unavailable for spending until an apportionment or reapportionment is received and processed in Oracle. Customers should email all FY 2022 apportionments to the BudgetARC@ﬁscal.treasury.gov or HUDBudgetARC@ﬁscal.treasury.gov mailbox by 9/28/2022 to support the automated apportionment analysis.
