Header

The Clarification Request action can be used if any additional clarification on the information provided in the Grant Funding Application (GFA) transaction is needed, either from an external grantee in VSS or from an internal source in Financial. This action is only allowed for finalized Grant Funding Application (GFA) transactions whose corresponding Grant Opportunity has closed and will mostly apply to competitive grants. Although it modifies the finalized transaction, it does not update the Transaction Phase or Transaction Version of the transaction. When you select the Clarification Request action, you are taken to the Clarification Request page where you can insert a record to request additional information regarding the Grant Funding Application (GFA) transaction.

The View Grant Folder action allows you to transition to the Procurement Management page to review transactions associated with the Grant Folder. Select the Back button on the Procurement Management page to return to the transaction.

You can optionally indicate the same Response Type and Comments that you want to apply to all lines on the Grant Component tab. After entering the appropriate values click the Apply Default Values to Grant Lines action to default the values to all lines. The values can be overwritten at the Grant Level.

If this is the first transaction within a grant folder, then on validate of a draft transaction, the system assigns a unique Grant Folder ID on the grant Header. Or if it is associated with another grantor transaction and that transaction was the first transaction within the Grant Folder, then Grant Folder, Grant Type ID and Grant Type fields are populated with inferred values on copy forward. When the Grant Folder ID field is populated indicating that it is associated with a folder, the View Grant Folder action is activated on the transaction Header allowing users to transition to the Procurement Management (PRCUID) page to review other Grant Folder information associated with this selected folder. Once the user has transitioned to the PRCUID page, a Back action is displayed allowing the user to transition back to the transaction Header where the transition began.

When the Grant Funding Application (GFA) transaction is created by the Copy Forward feature on the Grant Funding Opportunity transaction, all referencing information from the Grant Funding Opportunity is automatically displayed on the Grant Funding Application (GFA). The Vendor/Customer Code of the grantee responding to the Grant Funding Opportunity must be entered in the Grantee ID field. The Response Date and Response Time must be entered on the Grant Funding Application transaction and must be prior to the Opportunity's Close Date and Close Time.
