Introduction

SIMBA (System for Integrated Management, Budgeting, and Accounting) account values are populated from SIMS upon request. 

Article Body

SIMBA Field Mapping

Standard Account Requests

An account creation is requested when a "New" agreement is finalized and goes "to Contract File" in SIMS Negotiation Manager.  All account values are based on the Negotiation Manager record.

Advanced Fund Account Requests

An account creation is requested when a "Start an Advanced Fund Request" is used with "Advanced Funds" option selected.  All account values are based on the IAF record.

If the IAF is matched to a Negotiation Manager record prior to the advanced fund request, all account values are based on the Negotiation Manager record.
