REQUISITIONS ACTUAL TEST PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ What are purchase orders? Answer: is a way GFEBS records an
obligation based on a pre-commitment or commitment document.
After a Purchase requisition (PR) is funds certified, it will require a
Purchase Order to obligate funds.
◉ What is another way to post an obligation in GFEBS? Answer: A
Funds Commitment document. It is different from a PO because it
does not require a commitment document as it posts a simultaneous
commitment and obligation. These documents are more commonly
used for Miscellaneous Payments not subject to Prompt Payment,
travel external to the Defense Travel System (DTS) and are
sometimes posted via a system partner interface as is the case with
DTS and the Funds Control Module (FCM). These documents are
financial documents created with transaction code FMZ1.
◉ What is the transaction code to create a funds document? Answer:
FMZ1
◉ Contract Answer: A legally-binding agreement between a buyer
and a vendor over a specified length of time for the purchase of
goods or services for a specified quantity or price. A contracting
,office must administer the contract to establish an agreement with
the awarded vendor.
◉ Contract Line Item Number Answer: A unique, four-digit number
that identifies a specific contract line item on a contract. Contracts
identify the items or services to be acquired as separate contract line
items.
◉ Funds Commitment Document Answer: A way to record an
obligation in GFEBS, other than a purchase order (PO). It is used to
commit and as an obligation in one step, for business processes in
which a purchase requisition (PR) or PO is unnecessary (i.e., for
obligations who payments are not subject to the Prompt Payment
Act (PPA)).
◉ Direct Cite Line Item Answer: is a MIPR Line Item accepted by the
performing Activity as Direct Cite Basis (Category II) - the
requester's fund is cited directly on all documents needed to support
the fulfillment of the MIPR Line Item. The requester's funds stay in
the Commitment stage until a copy of the obligation document (e.g.,
contract award) is received back from the performing activity

◉ Reimbursable Line Item Answer: is a MIPR line item accepted by
the performing Activity on a Reimbursable basis - the Performing
Activity fulfills the MIPR requirement "in-house"
◉ The Transportation Account Code (TAC) Answer: identifies the
appropriate Department of Defense (DoD) component and
appropriation chargeable for movement of material
◉ Purchase Order Processor Answer: Responsible for manually
entering POs directly in GFEBS and for entering PO modifications
They also manually enter a funds commitment document in GFEBS
for situations where it is not necessary to use a PO (i.e.,
miscellaneous payment obligations not subject to PPA)
◉ Purchase Order Interface Processing Monitor Answer: -Monitors
the interfacing to and from external systems / contract writing
systems (i.e., Standard Procurement Systems (SPS) and Defense
Medical Logistics Standard --Support (DMLSS)) in the PO process
and monitors interfacing in the Funds Commitment Document
process (i.e., Funds Control Module (FCM))
They also help identify and resolve errors with interfaces
