EDA Access

You must be an authorized user to access EDA.

Access Control ensures personnel utilizing the EDA application can only access documents they are authorized to see.

Government Employee users (Employed by the U.S. Government) can be authorized to see one or many document types, but it depends upon their organizational role and their need to know. The Electronic Data Access Point of Contact (EDA POC) for the government validates, authorizes and approves access.

Government Support Contractor users (Contracted by the U.S. Government to perform a function/task within the U.S. Government) can be authorized to see one or many document types. Access is limited to specific DODAAC(s) or specific contract number(s). The Government EDA POC validates, authorizes and approves access.

Identification and Authentication ensures only authorized personnel gain access to the application and the underlying data. EDA offers two types of Identification and Authentication methods. The user may choose either option during the registration process.

Government Users can register for the following types of Access to EDA:

Government Transportation Requests (GTRs):Government Transportation Requests (GTRs) are documents used to procure all passenger transportation services on behalf of the United States, except when the use of cash, or other substitute document, i.e., Government issued charge card, Government Travel Account (GTA), or travel warrant has been specifically authorized by the Administrator or General Services (or their designee).

Note:Government Transportation Requests may contain information subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 as Amended.

GTRs are associated with two types of documents:

1. GTR document.

2. GTR Voucher document.

Vouchers - All:Vouchers are documents which support payments made by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) . They are used for posting payments in Accounting Systems and for reconciliation and research.

All vouchers are stored in the DFAS CEDMS System. The voucher links within EDA redirect the user to CEDMS.

Queries CEDMS for all voucher types and presents results in a combined view. Without the Vouchers All role, the individual types only will be returned.

Who is granted this role: Finance and Contract personnel. Based on "Need to Know"

Note:The CEDMS system has been CAC enabled, no vouchers will be viewable without a CAC.

Note:Access can be granted to all Government Employees and Government Support Contractors with a legitimate "need to know" by their EDA POC.

Vouchers - Accounting:Allows the user to query intergovernmental payments, collection vouchers, no check drawn vouchers, and Cash Reconciliation System (CRS) vouchers.

Note:Access is restricted to Government Employees and Government Support Contractors.

Vouchers - Travel:Provides access to Travel Vouchers. These are travel payments already made by DFAS. Travel vouchers are used primarily for reconciliation and research.

Note:This link is NOT intended for personal use in viewing personal travel vouchers. Personal travel vouchers are viewed via "MyPay".

Note:Access is restricted to Government Employees and Government Support Contractors.

Vouchers - Military Pay:Allows users to query DFAS Military Pay Vouchers.

DFAS Military Pay vouchers are "exception" payments that are not processed through the regular military pay system. Exception payments include casual payments, partial payments, advance payments, and miscellaneous payments that are paid outside the normal pay system. These vouchers are intended to be viewed by finance and accounting offices, not the individual payee. Individual payees are provided with hard copy documentation to support these payments.

Note:Access is restricted to Government Employees and Government Support Contractors.

Vouchers - Commercial Pay:Allows the user to query payments made to Vendors and Contractors.

Note:Access is restricted to Government Employees and Government Support Contractors.

A GBL records data pertaining to a particular move and is used to input data like weight load, distance moved, etc.

Personal Property and Freight GBLs are accessed separately within EDA but the queries are identical.

Electronic 110s:The Electronic 110 Report is available for use by accounting stations. Information has been pulled from the voucher and other Mechanization Of Contract Admin Services (MOCAS) files and should eliminate the need to review the voucher in many cases. However, the vouchers are available in EDA, if needed. Users can either download a group of records or research a single voucher.

Signature Cards (DD577):Signature Cards have been loaded by DFAS Indianapolis. These cards are used to verify the accuracy of signatures for individuals who perform specific functions. The application is not intended for general use.

Contracts:The Electronic Data Access (EDA) Contracts area provides access to multiple types of acquisition documents including Purchase Orders, Contract Specifications, Delivery Orders, and other documents that support verification and validation of actions that obligate the Government to expend funds.

Authorized Government users can access all contract files that are indexed in EDA. Authorized support contractor access is controlled by DoDAAC(s) and/or specific contract numbers. Vendor users access is controlled by the D-U-N-S and/or CAGE codes. The D-U-N-S identifier is unique to a specific company, or location of a company, and is generated when requested from Dunn & Bradstreet. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) creates a unique CAGE identifier when a contract is initiated between the Government and a Company.

Within the Contracts query results, users have the ability to access the Portable Document Format (PDF) and/or Procurement Data Standard (PDS) versions of the contract, Attachments/Admin Documents associated with a particular contract and Contract Close data. If PDS data exists for the contract, a PDS or PDSEVAL link will be displayed next to the contract link in the contract number column returned in the result set. When clicked a PDS version of the contract will be displayed. If attachments and/or admin documents exist for a contract, the attachment and/or admin document column returned in the result set will have a View(#) hyperlink displayed. By clicking the link, EDA will present the user with the attachments or admin documents available for that particular contract.

EDA offers authorized users Manual Contract Upload and Contract Maintenance capabilities. Contact your EDA POC for role granting assistance. In addition, users have the capability to display recently modified/viewed contracts from the Recent Contract Document drop-down list on the Contract Search Options screen. All contracts recently viewed, manually uploaded, inactivated, replaced, or whose index has been modified by the user will be listed for display.

Note:EDA does not support the inactivation/replacement of PDS data.
