SUBJECT:  Electronic Non-Payroll Expense Transfer (ENPET) Upgrades

The SPEAR ENPET Team and ACT have completed additional enhancements to the ENPET system. These enhancements will go into production on February 11, 2002 and are described below.

1. ENPET Document Maintenance
The ENPET Document Maintenance is a new ENPET tool that allows users to look up ENPETs with a variety of criteria, including User ID. The tool is designed to facilitate the user's ability to access all ENPETs for status information and to update those ENPETs that are in an unapproved status. The ENPET Document Maintenance will replace the existing "Edit an Existing ENPET." A separate set of instructions for the use of the Document Maintenance tool is contained in Blink's ENPET pages at:

2. IFIS NPET turned off
The IFIS NPET (Green Screen) will no longer be accepted by IFIS after February 8, 2002 for extramural funds. As of this date all extramural cost transfers will be processed through the ENPET system in FinancialLink. You may continue to process bulk transfers on general funds under the FG54 rule class (Online NPETs Non EMF Funds Only) in either of the IFIS NPET (Green Screen) or WebIFIS Journal Voucher processes. However, we would urge you to use the ENPET system for all transfers to experience the advantages of direct electronic access to supporting documentation.

We hope that you find these changes beneficial. If you have questions, you may contact:
