Effective July 1, 2012, all finance number control master (FNCM) requests should be emailed to the outlook group “FNCM FSB” in Microsoft Outlook. Information on the new process can be found in the FNCM Users’ Guide on the Accounting website at http://blue.usps.gov/wps/portal/accounting; under “Quick Links/References” click More References, then the pdf or word doc link for FNCM User’s Guide.
All district user FNCM access will be revoked on July 1, 2012. It is the responsibility of the appropriate district functional area, when implementing any initiatives that will require unit attribute changes, to ensure change requests are communicated directly to the field sales branch (FSB). The FNCM User’s Guide has explicit instructions on deactivating finance numbers such as discontinuance of units. Each functional area must take into consideration the impact of its requests prior to emailing FNCM FSB to avoid unnecessary complications that would result in budgetary, NPA, or reporting of revenue and financial transaction issues.
Below are the instructions for FNCM requests when emailing FNCM FSB:
1. Send all emails to the FNCM FSB email address with the subject line “District XXX—FNCM UFN REQUEST” where XXX is the district number.
2. Changes to cash retained must be made by an authorized district employee.
3. Requests received by 2:00 p.m. will be processed by 2:00 p.m. the following business day.
4. An email notification of completed requests will be sent to the district finance managers for new units only.
5. Requests that cannot be completed will be returned to the requestor with an explanation.
