  RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
  8-4. During the funding process several systems are in place to allow the proper distribution and
  execution of funds. Many of the legacy systems have been replaced by Enterprise Resource Planning
  (ERP) solutions that help achieve more quantifiable and auditable results.
  GENERAL FUND ENTERPRISE BUSINESS SYSTEM (GFEBS)
  8-5. GFEBS is the Army’s integrated financial management system for funds distribution, execution and
  reporting. The system provides real-time visibility of transactions as well as historical data; and the
  availability of these data provides the analytic foundation for better-informed decision-making. GFEBS
  standardizes business processes and transactions across the active Army, the Army National Guard and the
  Army Reserve, and the Defense Financial and Accounting Service (DFAS).
  8-6. GFEBS is not an update of existing legacy systems; but rather, a replacement of legacy systems with
  a single integrated, web-based solution. GFEBS employs a commercial-off-the-shelf Enterprise Resource
  Planning (ERP) solution. GFEBS complies with statutory and regulatory requirements, enforces internal
  controls and is the Army’s centerpiece for achieving unqualified financial audit opinions. Consequently,
  GFEBS and all ERPs require changes in business processes.
  8-7. GFEBS is one of a small group of Army ERPs and interfaces (i.e., Exchanges data) with each of
  them. Perhaps the most significant interface in a theater of operations is with the Global Combat Support
  System-Army (GCSS-Army). GCSS-Army is primarily a logistics--but also a financial--system that is
  tightly integrated with GFEBS. GCSS-Army provides logistics sustainment support in both tactical and
  installation environments. GCSS-Army receives funds only from GFEBS, shares the financial management
  module of GFEBS, and provides execution data to GFEBS for consolidation.
