What's New

  

An update designed to prevent applicants from mistakenly creating multiple submissions, has caused a system glitch that produces the following error message in APPS:
Cannot create submission.  The applicant has a Property Submission in process.
  
If you receive this message, please know that you have done nothing wrong.  A Property Submission "in process" or "in review" should not prohibit you from creating a new Property Submission. Only an Organization Change Submission in process or in review should cause that error message to appear.
  
Some, but not all, have found the glitch clears if they cancel their "in process" submissions in APPS for that applicant and then attempt to their new submission. HUD is diligently working to resolve this issue.

Murphy Consulting provides tips, tricks and troubleshooting for the HUD Secure System, APPS and more.  Contact us today for help!   (410) 821-6953 
APPS Tip -  Flag Resolution
 
Did you know?
The Supervisory Project Manager can now resolve Flags originally placed by a PM who no longer works at HUD.
  
This is welcome news, but does not diminish the need for owners and agents to routinely check Flag Reports in APPS.  Careful oversight and a timely response to HUD are always your best course of action.

REAC Tip - Auditor access
 
Did you know?
Each Spring, auditors across the country find they are unable log in to the HUD Secure System to process their AFS submissions. This is because WASS automatically terminates ID's after 90 days of inactivity.
  
The fix is easy: Contact your Coordinator to re-activate the ID in User Maintenance or call the REAC TAC Help Desk (888-245-4860) to reactivate the ID and reset the password.
