for refund of overpayment of taxes from fund 440000 10 1 000902
441000000 00 2200xx 00 directly into Departmental SAMAS. The

for entering these transactions into Departmental SAMAS. The
account code for the original deposit (prefix code) will be required
to be entered via this screen. The system will allow only one
prefix code per voucher. A voucher may have multiple vendors,
but only one prefix code. Journal transfers may have multiple
prefix codes.
The overpayment of taxes fund
code will be provided by the system, except for the last two digits
of the category. These must be entered by the agency pursuant
to Comptroller's Memo No. 16, (1994-95), categories 220020, refund of state revenues
or 220030, refund of non-state revenues.
Agencies will have the ability
to make daily corrections or updates, and use the Voucher Summary
Report as with other transactions in Departmental SAMAS.
These transactions are not subject
to sampling or the load and post process. The journal transfers
and vouchers processed through this screen must be forwarded to
the Bureau of Auditing for review and posting to the system.
Questions regarding the FLAIR input screen should be directed to the FLAIR Help Desk, 410-9340, Suncom 210-9340. Other questions should be directed to the Bureau of Auditing at 410-9194, Suncom 210-9194.
