GFEBS Business Process Areas
1. Funds Management: Within GFEBS, the Funds Management (FM) business
processing function performs the budgeting and funds control for General Fund
appropriations received by the Army.
The major purposes of Funds Management include:
• Distributing, allocating and executing funds
• Ensuring that funds are not over-committed
• Allowing the Army to perform strategic planning
FM integrates primarily with the Financials (FI), Reimbursables (RM), and Spending
Chain (SC) business process areas.
