Business Scenarios
The report is ideal for answering this type of business question:
How many contracts for a specific department are in draft error status? This report displays all types of statuses in FPDS-NG (i.e. Void, Error and Draft).
This information can be used by the System Administrator to determine if reported documents in FPDS-NG need to have any action taken to clear up draft records. For instance, the System Administrator for GSA can use this report to verify the created date for draft and errored documents in FPDS-NG. This information is useful in determining if these documents are approaching the FPDS-NG automated delete function for these records and if the Contracting Officer/Specialist needs to take any action.
