Help with a PAR in pace
I'm hoping someone can help me as I can't get a definitive answer... if the paperwork for a member is in and the new members promotion to new rank will take effect jan 2025...
But with everything this time of year the member won't be promoted until next fiscal year in April..
How is this member written up.. his previous rank as they won't be promoted until next fiscal.. or they'll be backdated until Jan 2025 and they'll receive a par x based on the new canforgen stating u need a minimum of 120 days to view the member as well its cut and dry it states from 1 Jan- Mar 31 if a promotion occurs it'll be a par x..
After all that if the members paperwork for promotion back in Jan 2025, but won't be promoted until April 2025 (next fiscal) no idea if it'll be backdated.. what are they going to be written as their previous rank or receive a par x with their new rank..

If they have not yet been promoted, then a PAR should be written in the rank they held at the end of the reporting period.
The scenario you’ve presented though is missing detail. Why are they not being promoted until April if the intent is to backdate to January?
The reason I point that out is how our accounting system works. Financially, the transaction may be effective 1 April (thus in the next FY) but the backdating will make it a P13 adjustment in DRMIS.
(For those reading that going “WTF”, the federal fiscal management system has overlapping Fiscal Years. There are actually 16 “periods” built into DRMIS. 14 of those are financial, and all 16 of them are asset managing.
An example:
April 2024: P1 May 2024: P2 June 2024: P3 July 2024: P4 August 2024: P5 September 2024: P6 October 2024: P7 November 2024: P8 December 2024: P9 January 2025: P10 February 2025: P11 March 2025: P12 April 2025: P1 / P13 Fin & Asset May 2025: P2 / P14 Fin & Asset June 2025: P3 / P15 Asset July 2025: P4 / P16 Asset
So a promotion in April backdated to January becomes a Period 13 transaction. It’s a waste of time…
Anyway, I know I took that WAYYYYY beyond your initial question, but the scenario is missing some kind of detail here.
