BLS Replacement System Advances in 2014

Partners,

Great news. The Department of Revenue is taking its next major step toward launching a complete tax and license system replacement.
The Request for Proposal was posted on February 7. Responses are due in May, which will be followed by system demonstrations in the summer. After careful review and negotiation, Revenue will award the contract to a technology company by the end of the year.

Replacing the current system will stabilize operations, reduce maintenance and risks, and add efficiencies. Agency and city partners will benefit directly as licensing and regulatory enhancements can be more easily customized.
We will keep you updated throughout the year as major steps are completed.

UPDATED: Missing Account Financials - new files posting Tuesday

UPDATE:

Complete Account Financial Control Summary documents are in your designated SFT folder today. You may notice they are dated from Feb. 14 to Feb. 25. Those who get XML or custom reporting for funds transfers have updated files in their SFT folder.
-------------------------------------------
Partners--

We have identified a small systems error last week. It prevented many of you from getting timely notification of pending deposits.It is fixed now. Your reporting will be updated by tomorrow morning.

Account Financial Control Summary (AFCS) documents that post in your SFT folders were not issued for the days between February 14 and February 18.

Sample AFCS Document


Many of you were notified of pending deposits coming from the Office of State Treasurer, but were unable to reconcile the deposit to an AFCS document. This process has been corrected.

The missing files will be issued your SFT folders overnight Monday.

Thank you for your patience.
