Uploading to the FAS Sales Reporting Portal

The portal is at srp.fas.gsa.gov. Sign-in needs a digital certificate and multi-factor authentication, so the submission itself stays with you — nobody can do that step on your behalf without your credentials.

Four ways to report

• Excel file upload — the official template, filled in. What most contractors use.
• Keyed entry — typing lines into a form. Fine for three lines, not for three hundred.
• CSV upload.
• API / EDI — worth it if you have an ERP and the budget to integrate it.

The upload, step by step

1. Sign in with your digital certificate and complete MFA.
2. Select the contract and the reporting period you are filing for.
3. Choose the Excel upload and select your file.
4. Review what the portal reports back before you confirm.
5. Keep the confirmation and the file you submitted.

Where it goes wrong

• Opening and re-saving the file. Excel can change formatting on save, and the template forbids formatting changes. Upload the file as produced.
• A helper tab left in the workbook. Extra tabs are not allowed, including one you meant to delete.
• Formulas. A surviving = in any cell — even one that shows the right number — is a formula in a template that forbids them.
• Wrong period. Filing August's numbers against July's period is accepted at upload and wrong in the record.
• A blank mandatory column on a single row out of several hundred.
