Is transition to the FMMI system mandatory?
Transition to this new system is mandatory. USDA is taking steps to modernize its financial systems through the Financial Management Modernization Initiative (FMMI). FMMI makes way for the use of a state-of-the-art software package that will provide online, real-time transaction capability and access to both Department-level offices and all agencies. It will replace the Foundation Financial Information System (FFIS) and program financial systems, as applicable, so if your agency is transitioning to FMMI it will be mandatory.
