A-schedules vs ORGB Data Strings

Dear client,

This is a follow-up on previous communication sent to yourself, please find herewith Munsoft’ s view on above matter.

Issues – The Council approved that the A-schedules submitted to National Treasury differs from what was captured on Munsoft and thus the ORGB data strings uploaded on LG portal.

Source of issues – We assume that municipalities completed their A-schedules outside the system, hence the difference between the A-schedules & Munsoft and subsequently the ORGB data strings.

Recommendation – We recommend that a letter be sent to National Treasury (Provincial Treasury copied in) informing them that the A-Schedule reconciliation be done during the Adjustment Budget (ADJB) process and that the municipality will report on progress monthly leading up to this deadline.  

It is important to note that the municipal officials are responsible for this reconciliation and the implementation of the corrections.  This is not enclosed in the standard Munsoft Support SLA.

However, in true Munsoft spirit we also try and go over and above on a best effort basis to try and assist our clients over and above the SLA.  (If you have a specific consulting agreement with Munsoft which covers certain tasks this will not be best effort but according to the SLA)

Munsoft can assist with:

  • Identify data strings on budget causing the differences
  • All clients to receive the identified data strings causing the differences
  • Schedule N client – Assist client to move budget and actuals to correct data strings
  • Non schedule N client – Support to give guidance on how to move budget and actuals, client to perform journals

If you have any queries, please contact your Service Delivery Manager for assistance.
