When two departments are processing IS transactions using
the Standard Payment System (SPS) errors may occur. The corrective
action to be applied will depend on the type of error.
Correction of IS transactions is governed by rules established
by Treasury Board. Further information is available under
the Interdepartmental Settlements Policy document. Correction
of IS transactions is restricted to the fiscal year in which
they are initiated except in special circumstances. In these
circumstances, Year End processing procedures apply. For
Year End procedures and rules please refer to the Receiver
General Directives.
The scenarios here are for "Current Year Corrections".
Two terms can be applied to the corrective process, "Questioning"
of an IS and "Correction" of an IS.
The "Questioning" of an IS is a Standard Payment System
term and is applied to the action of reversing an IS through
the SPS process. Questioning is handled via the SPS On-line
facility.
The "Correction" of an IS is an overall approach to correcting
an IS issued. The following procedures will provide the
information necessary for departments to correct an incorrect
IS.
It is important that departments involved in the
correction of an IS communicate their intentions
and requirements to their partnering department.
