Registration and Role Request for AAs GPC One-Pager Registration and Role Request for AAs AAs PIEE/JAM The Appointing Authority (AA) is the person authorized by Component-level Financial Management procedures to sign DD Form 577 Certifying Officer appointments in accordance with Financial Management Regulation (FMR) Volume 5, Chapter 5. Although the AA does not have to be registered in PIEE to perform their role, there are benefits for the AA who has a PIEE account: Ability to track the status of delegated/appointed COs. Ability to conduct just-in-time approvals rather than waiting for emails to arrive. What do I have to know? There is no JAM appointment for the AA. You can have more than one GPC AA role per user. During registration, the DD577 Appointing Authority role is listed under the JAM application, not the Purchase Card application. PIEE requires the AA role to be associated with a group at registration. PIEE requires the AA to provide their Authority DoDAAC at the time of registration. The Authority DoDAAC is where the AA received their authority of procurement authority (i.e., to sign DD Form 577 CO appointments). The AA Role Location Group will display on all DD 577 CO appointments the AA signs. This cannot be changed on the appointment. Other Considerations The authority DoDAAC will be used for informational purposes only at this time and will not have any validation other than a system check to ensure that it is a valid DoDAAC. The DoDAAC does not have to reside within the group identified for the selected role. The authority DoDAAC should be a DoDAAC with a procurement flag. 3 Jan 2019 3OP:009 PIEE DAU DPC/Purchase Card (Can be clicked in Slide Show Mode) Still have questions? See next page.

Registration and Role Request for AAs GPC One-Pager Registration and Role Request for AAs AAs PIEE/JAM Frequently Asked Questions How do I know if this is the right role for me? AAs are the individuals in the Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) who have been authorized by Component-level Financial Management procedures to sign DD Form 577 CO appointments in accordance with FMR Volume 5, Chapter 5. If other roles have DD 577 CO appointment authority, it is because the AA has provided them with that ability. What training do I need? DoD cyber-security training is required for PIEE registration. What is the difference between the AA and the Delegating/Appointing Authority (DAA)? The DAA is an overarching delegating/appointing role on the GPC Program’s procurement side, whereas the AA is an approval role in on the financial side and is limited to verification of DD Form 577 CO appointments. What if I need multiple roles? If you need multiple roles, you can do one of two things: When initially requesting your roles, you can add all the roles and identify the Role Location DoDAAC/Group for each role. If you need to add a role at a later date, you can log in to your PIEE account, click “My Account,” click “Add Additional Roles,” and follow the instructions on the screen. Add the additional roles and the associated Role Location DoDAAC/Group for each. What do I need to know about DoDAACs? The Home Organization DoDAAC is the DoDAAC of the organization where you sit. The Role Location DoDAAC is the DoDAAC of the organization for which you perform your duties. AAs are assigned at the group level. The Authority Location DoDAAC is the DoDAAC of the organization that grants you GPC authority (i.e., signs your appointment letter). Since AAs do not have appointments, at the time of registration, the system will ask the AA to provide this information. Whether you sit at a DoDAAC with a procurement flag or not, you should enter the correct Home Organization DoDAAC. The same applies to the Role Location DoDAAC. 3 Jan 2019 3OP:009 PIEE DAU DPC/Purchase Card (Can be clicked in Slide Show Mode) Not sure where to begin? See next page.
