For contracts that include clauses 552.238-74, 552.238-80, or 552.216-75, contractors are obligated to submit monthly and quarterly sales data reports and make quarterly payments for MAS contracts.
FAS Sales Reporting provides five different options to report sales data; by Form Entry, by File Upload - Excel, File Upload - CSV, by API and via EDI gateway.
Contractors with transactional sales data less than 250 line items per contract may prefer to use the Form Entry method.
Contractors with transactional sales data greater than 250 line items (up to 2000 line items) per contract may prefer to use the File Upload method (Excel or CSV file)
Quarterly contractors can not use the File Upload method to report sales. This option is only available to Monthly contractors.
Contractors with greater volumes of transactional sales data may prefer to set up an API system-to-system web service method, or EDI method.
If you don't have any sales data to report for a given month or quarter you are still required to report "Zero Sales" in FAS Sales Reporting. The only way to report $0 in sales is to use the Form Entry method.
The Report Data by Form Entry option requires you to manually enter your data in a web form. You can start entering your monthly or quarterly sales report via the web form and save the data until you are ready to submit the data for the month or quarter. Once you submit the data, the system will calculate the fees due.
The Report Data by File Upload (Excel or CSV) option will allow you to upload a file containing the required transactional sales information. You can manually populate the transactional sales data in the Excel template or programmatically export your sales data from your accounting systems into the Excel template or CSV template. FAS Sales Reporting provides a pre-formatted Excel template that you can download and reuse for reporting data by File Upload.
