7. Assignment Sequence Number (ASN)
Determines the sequence or order in which allocation expense assignment occurs.
If a D or E account is added, an Assignment Sequence Number (ASN) must be entered.
Codes given the same ASN allocate in alphabetical order with codes ending in numbers stepping down before alpha characters. Example: EBC5, EBCA, EBCB, etc.
Alignment is defined by DoD M
Queries run quarterly to check Army ASN Order

9. Account Subset Definition (ASD) Table
Scenario 1: Table Migration has already occurred, you are processing in the current FY, you just found out that an FCC should have been activated in Sep 09. What should you do to allow processing in both the previous and current fiscal years?
Add the FCC to the Previous Year’s ASD Table by selecting FY 2009.
Enter the correct Activation date.
Add the code to the Current Year’s ASD Table by selecting FY 2010.
Enter an Activation date for the first day of FY 2010, 10/01/2010.
Call the help desk to have the duplicate code removed.

10. Account Subset Definition (ASD) Table
Scenario 2: An FCC was deactivated in FY 2009 and reactivated in FY 2010 but table migration has already occurred for FY 2010 and therefore the record did not roll forward. What should you do to allow processing in the current fiscal year?
Leave the FY 2009 record alone.
Add the FCC to the Current Year’s ASD Table by selecting FY 2010.
Enter an Activation date for the first day of FY 2010, 10/01/2010.
Call the help desk to have the duplicate code removed.
Remove the deactivation date on the remaining record.
