Article summary

Conversion Description

This Conversion design aims to convert all open receivables (Items) from Agency Business System or FLAIR as a starting point for the conversion. However, additional data points will be needed for required fields (e.g., Item ID, As Of Date, Customers, etc.) which will need to be reviewed by agencies before converting to Florida PALM. The process will convert items with an open balance that are relevant to agency operations in Florida PALM going forward. This will provide each agency with the ability to maintain AR by customer in Florida PALM.

Open item balance includes the following populations:

  • Receivable items within agency that have an open balance of not equal to zero as of December 31, 2025.
  • Receivable items that the agency expects deposits to be applied/matched beginning January 1, 2026.
