Question & AnswerQ&A (LTO MEMORANDUM)
The memorandum addresses the manual processing procedure to be followed in case the computerized system is offline and reiterates that the computerized offline facility should not be used until it has passed testing and acceptance.
Because it has not yet passed the testing and acceptance process.
A Certificate of Acceptance for an IT Facility (CAIF) must be issued for the facility before it can be used.
The advice for the use of the computerized offline facility shall emanate from the undersigned, specifically Assistant Secretary Reynaldo I. Berroya.
It refers to and reiterates the memorandum dated January 31, 2007 on the manual processing in case of computer system offline.
Manual processing is required to ensure continuity of operations when the computerized system is offline or not operational.
The testing and acceptance process is a prerequisite to ensure that the computerized offline facility functions properly and is reliable before it can be officially used.
Using the facility without a CAIF may lead to administrative sanctions or procedural invalidity of processes conducted, given that it violates prescribed official procedures.
They should be guided accordingly and continue to follow manual processing procedures for system offline cases until further notice and certification are provided.
