Chief of Naval Education and Training Foreign Military Sales. An Overview of the Financial Management System.

Abstract : Navy training is provided to foreign nationals under a variety of agreements. The Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET) is required by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Chief of Naval Operations to account for the cost of administering this training. Consequently, a need exists for a financial management system for foreign military sales (FMS) of training. This report documents selected software components of the automatic data processing portion CNET's FMS financial management system for training. Specific objectives of this report are to: describe the structure of the FMS system and its elements along with the logic for completing summary billing, provide an operator's guide that will improve understanding of the program logic and procedures necessary to use the system as it is presently programmed, and document the specific system programming details of the FMS FY 80 costing/billing programs.
