Once added, an account profile in ASAP.gov may be modified via on-line or batch processes.

Each account is identified by the unique combination of the following three pieces of information:

• Agency Location Code/Region

•  Recipient The organization that is entitled to the funds. ID The 7-digit identifier assigned to a Recipient Organization or Payment Requestor within ASAP.

• Account ID

All three of the above fields are required when creating an account profile. Once a profile has been posted to the ASAP.gov database, its identifying information may not be changed, although parts of the profile itself may be modified.

In addition to the designation of the ALC /Region, Recipient ID, and Account ID, the required fields on the account profile are Account Description A 30 character alpa or numeric narrative of the account. and Requestor The individual user that initiates the payment request from an ASAP account.
