Approved RFRs are batched into a file containing the Payee Identification Number (PIN)/Texas Identification Number (TIN), mail code and the amount to be reimbursed, along with other invoice details, and placed on an FTP server. The OPS system processes the invoice/payment data and updates relevant accounts payable tables in the financial system.

Another process in OPS sends the payment information to the Texas Comptroller’s Office where a warrant or direct deposit is issued to the subgrantee to the PIN/TIN and mail code they entered in eGrants.

The OPS-eGrants interface will extract the voucher/payment data from voucher-related tables and generate an output file. This output file contains the status of all vouchers and their payment details (USAS warrant number and payment date) as well as the voucher distribution line information. This file is then read into eGrants and updates the status of the appropriate RFR.
