DPM Reporting Overview

PMS recipient reporting requirements are consistent with the OMB policies and the standards for government-wide reporting. DPM uses an automated PSC-272 as approved by OMB for both paper and ELECTRONIC REPORTING. These computer-generated reports are furnished to all recipients with active PMS accounts. A PSC 272 and its appropriate schedules (PSC 272-A through G) are produced for each recipient (payee) account, if applicable. Since payees may have more than one account in PMS, those payees receive more than one PSC 272.   NOTE: There is no PSC 272 reporting requirement for DPM accounts ending in "B" or "B1" (this does not apply to NASA accounts).

Samples of the 272 and its subsidiary schedules are listed HERE. Each PSC 272 is customized to the needs of a payee's account based on: a) characteristics of the payee; b) characteristics of that account; and c) problems the payee has reported to PMS regarding the data on the PSC 272.

PLEASE NOTE: The samples of the PSC 272-A and PSC 272-B appear far more complicated than these reports will normally be for the majority of recipients. The intent was to show virtually all possible combinations of problems, conditions and error messages on a single sample of the PSC 272.
