Interface ASAP Flags Automation of ASAP Authorization task is dependent upon two
system flags: “Release to ASAP” and “ASAP Approval” Flags are set by the system, not by the user
Flags do not appear on the Grants Online or CBS screens
Release to ASAP Flag Currently set to “No” (All ASAP Profiles will be created as “Unapproved” regardless of
ASAP Approval Flag)
Overrides ASAP Approval Flag
User will have to Approve ASAP profile on SPDG003 screen then manually clear ASAP Authorization task in Grants Online.
ASAP Approval Flag Flag is set based upon OLA threshold. If “Release to ASAP Flag” is set to “Yes”, then
awards under threshold will post as Approved and will be automatically cleared in Grants Online.
Awards over OLA threshold will always post as “Unapproved” to allow for the OLA workflow to complete before the ASAP task is created in Grants Online.
ASAP Certification task is automated based on the CBS data warehouse (not the interface). There will continue to be a lag time for Grants Online clearance..
