To determine the authorized charges to each of the
above mentioned OPTARs, refer to NAVSO P-3013.
Reporting Time Frames
OPTAR grants are available for obligations only
during the fiscal year in which they are granted (1
October through 30 September). However, OPTAR for
each fiscal year must be accounted for over a full
36-month cycle. During this period and for 24 months
after the end of the fiscal year, activities submit budget/
OPTAR reports as required by NAVSO P-3013-2.
These reports are discussed later in this chapter.
Unfilled Orders
Automated activities process all material receipts
and issues through the computer. The reconciliation of
unfilled orders (obligations) and expenditures for mate-
rial is performed internally by the SUADPS-RT system
for the S&E OPTAR. If the activity holds a Reimburs-
able OPTAR, unfilled orders are submitted for all trans-
actions (both material and services). When a SAC 207
activity does the accounting for a squadrons FLTOPs
OPTAR, unfilled orders are submitted for all transac-
tions (both material and services) for the squadron.
Records/Logs and Files
The procedures for keeping and maintaining finan-
cial record/logs and files are automated and manual.
AUTOMATED. Automation such as SUADPS-RT
has eliminated the need for manual records at the
command level. Large ships such as aircraft carriers use
the Shipboard Nontactical ADP Program (SNAP) I or
III (new version) system. The OPTAR holders do not
need to maintain a manual NAVCOMPT Form 2155
because the computer systems accomplish what the
manual procedures do as part of its system design. In
managing the direct program funds, the SUADPS-RT
OPTAR holders submit the following data once a month
on the last day of the month:
l
l
l
Detail unfilled order (obligation) documents in
mechanized form for Cognizance Code 99
(services)
Flight operations (excluding aviation fuel) via an
unfilled order summary report (Report 20)
Automated document transmittal report
(NAVCOMPT Form 2156)
Various versions of SNAP I or III have completely
automated the receipt of reimbursable OPTAR and the
processing of their transactions. Under SUADPS, the
procedures for ordering material for use on a
reimbursable funding are basically the same as ordering
material for the OPTAR funding the direct operations.
However, the fund code used has an A in the second
character and the reimbursable control code is assigned
as the first two characters of the document serial
number. The detail unfilled orders (obligations)
established for reimbursable OPTAR are automatically y
prepared for submission to DAO when the monthly
financial report is processed. Refer to paragraph 4200
of NAVSO P-3013-2 for detailed information about
reimbursable operating targets.
To guarantee the accuracy of the automated records,
all transactions affecting financial files including issues
from stock, DTO requisitions, open purchase
transactions, and transactions for supported units must
be posted into the system. The SUADPS-RT contains
program and quality assurance checks that validate
input transactions during computer processing.
MANUAL. Activities using the manual
procedures must establish a Requisition/OPTAR Log
(NAVCOMPT Form 2155). This log is used to record
OPTAR grants and the value of all transactions incurred
as chargeable to the type commanders operating
budget.
A separate requisition/OPTAR log is
established for each OPTAR received.
The financial files must be established for each
fiscal year for each OPTAR received. These files are
labeled file 1 and file 2. The Unfilled Order Chargeable
Documents for Transmittal, File 1, contains the
accounting copy of documents chargeable to the
OPTAR. All the documents must have the price, price
extension, and entered in the estimated cost chargeable
section of the appropriate NAVCOMPT Form 2155.
The documents in this are transmitted to the DAO for
matching with expenditure documents from supplying
or paying activities. The Unfilled Order Cancellation
Documents/Lists for Transmittal, File 2, contains the
following documents:
l
l
l
Lists of confirmed cancellations or copies of
individual cancellation documents
Advance downward price adjustments
Copies or lists of administrative cancellations of
above threshold unfilled orders and optionally
administrative cancellations of below threshold
unfilled orders that decrease the estimated cost
chargeable (credit adjustments).
All the documents in file 2 must be priced,
extended, and entered in the appropriate NAVCOMPT
