<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Effective July 1, 2018, SFMA client agencies are required to enter a unique three digit code in the multi-purpose code (MPCD) field when processing write-off transactions in SFMA. The unique code, defined in

the debt. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SFMA client agencies that do not enter write-off transactions directly into SFMA will be asked to enter summary amounts by criteria code in SFMA at fiscal year-end to allow for consolidated reporting of annual write-off activity.
