Introduction
Below summarizes the steps to correct SIMBA financial account creation errors encountered during the processing of an IAF.
Article Body
IAF is missing SIMBA Account Creation information, sending back to Submitting College for additional input.
This error message is usually seen when trying to send Negotiation Manager to Contract File. The error indicates that the IAF has no SIMBA budget information entered. When this error message is displayed, the IAF has been returned automatically to the college for revision.
The most common source of this message is an IAF that was completed and submitted to the CPO before SIMBA was active, and was sent to Contract File after IBIS account creation was disabled.
To correct:
- On the IAF, select the Budget tab.
- Complete the information requested on the Budget tab.
- Submit the IAF to the Central processing Office.
Note: This process may require contacting the College AOR to explain what is needed.
