Note: PAR routes to Soldier HOME S1 Pool, Approval of PAR does not update ASCO restriction:
ASCO must be manually entered.
See ASCO
Example: IAW AR 600-8-2, 2and period of punishment would be clearly defined in the court-martial or non-judicial punishment documentation."
INITIATING SFPA CODE 'H' (Punishment Phase - Adverse Action)
*NOTE: Don't forget to properly close the original SFPA action related to the new Punishment Phase action.
*Category (Reason): Reason 'H' - Punishment Phase
*Code (Report Type): Report 'A' - Initial Flag
Enter Date Report SFPA of Punishment Phase based on legal documents (UCMJ, Court, etc...)
Leave Date Removed SFPA field blank until ready to close the Flag on completion of punishment phase
*NOTE: Business logic in TAPDB-G identifies a record with an end-date as it should be closed and this
becomes a data-collision issue for GoArmyEd with an "open" Flag with an end date reported.
Also submit ASCO transaction to add code 'P1'
CLOSING SFPA CODE 'H' (Final Report - Unfavorable)
*Category (Reason): Reason 'H' - Punishment Phase (no change)
*Code (Report Type): Report 'D' - Final Report Unfavorable (punishment is completed)
Date Report SFPA of Punishment Phase (no change)
Enter Date Removed SFPA based on legal documents (UCMJ, Court, etc...)
ASCO 'P1' remains on the Soldier's Record.
CLOSING SFPA CODE 'H' (Final Report - Favorable)
*Category (Reason): Reason 'H' - Punishment Phase (no change)
*Code (Report Type): Report 'D' - Final Report Favorable (charges are dropped)
Date Report SFPA of Punishment Phase (no change)
Enter Date Removed SFPA based on legal documents (UCMJ, Court, etc...)
Remove ASCO 'P1' from the Soldier's record.
*NOTES: SFPA Reason 'H' cannot be a Final Report - Other (Report Type 'E').
If SFPA transaction was submitted in error, then close with Report Type 'Z' and remove ASCO 'P1'.
Assignment Consideration Code MUST be removed when a FLAG is removed.
Category: Select See Appendix Q Suspension of Favorable Personnel Actions (SFPA) Matric.
Select Code:
Workaround: The P1 ASCO did not automatically populate when the APFT restriction was added. System allowed
two restrictions on the same Soldier for the same reason and you cannot see the current restrictions when processing;
you must query Soldier
The Record Correction PAR to update the ASCO is complicated, use row update in personnel restrictions to add the
ASCO is much easier.
