  8-8. The GFEBS functional scope and processes include the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts
  Receivable, Funds Management, Cost Management, Financial Reporting, and Property, Plant and
  Equipment Management. GFEBS has the ability to empower leaders to make strategic business decisions
  that have a direct and positive impact on America’s fighting force.
  ENTERPRISE FUNDS DISTRIBUTION (EFD)
  8-9. Currently in process of full implementation, EFD is the new Department of Defense system for
  managing and distributing funds to the military Departments. EFD capabilities include distributing budget
  authority to the military Departments, managing rescissions and continuing resolutions, and
  reprogramming/transferring budget authority as needed to support changes in funding priorities throughout
  the year. GFEBS interfaces with the EFD system and distributes allocable funds within the Army.
  OPERATION DATA STORE (ODS)
  8-10. ODS translates legacy data formats into modernized data and Standard Financial Information
  Structure (SFIS) outputs that can be consumed by GFEBS; thus, ODS serves as a bridging solution in
  enabling the incremental modernization of the information environment as legacy systems are sunset.
  FUNDS CONTROL MODULE (FCM)
  8-11. FCM is a transaction processing system designed to take output from logistics and financial systems
  and bridge the two arenas of supply and financial management. Input is received from the Standard Army
  Retail Supply System (SARSS) and through a series of processing logic provided to GFEBS for financial
  obligation recognition. With the implementation of GCSS-Army’s supply functionality currently underway,
  FCM no longer be required to facilitate financial recognition of standard stock procurement. FCM
  continue to support legacy logistics integration with GFEBS in a number of process areas (e.g., fuels,
  subsistence) as a bridging solution until those processes and/or legacy systems are modernized.
  CONTRACTING SOFTWARE
  8-12. In addition to ERPs the procurement process uses other systems that are focused on the contracting
  arena. Financial managers interact with some of these systems as part of the fiscal triad process.
  STANDARD PROCUREMENT SYSTEM (SPS)
  8-13. SPS is a standardized, automated procurement system used by the DOD acquisition community. SPS
  is linked to logistics and financial systems to enable accurate tracking and reporting of financial data
  through the budgeting, requisition, contracting, contract administration, payment and contract close-out
  processes. This integration of acquisition, logistics and FM on a single procurement system is a key
  element in realizing the Army fiscal triad concept which governs the critical path between contracting and
  FM. It expedites contract creation and provides electronic contract information for later use in payment and
  contract research.
  ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT ACCESS (EDA)
  8-14. EDA is one of the Department’s sourcing environment programs. EDA is intended to simplify and
  standardize the methods that DOD uses to interact with commercial and government suppliers in the
  acquisition of catalog, stock, as well as made-to-order and engineer-to-order goods and services. EDA is a
  web-based system that provides secure online access, storage, and retrieval of contracts, contract
  modifications, Government Bills of Lading (GBLs), DFAS Transactions for Others (E110), vouchers, and
  Contract Deficiency Reports to authorized users throughout the DOD. EDA provides for the online creation
  of Contract Deficiency Reports and the Contract Deficiency Reports Workflow.
