BSC Management System

The BSC Management System (BSCMS) provides information about business service centers (BSCs), and KFS Organization (org) responsibility, as well as which centers support which orgs/codes. It also provides a way for authorized individuals within BSCs to edit their center’s contact information, permit membership, and org code responsibility, using maintenance e-docs. The e-docs are routed for approval to the authorized individuals before the changes can take effect.

Legacy accounting department responsibility is available at the bottom of this page.

This system cannot be used to create new account department codes. To request a new department code, please see Set Up and Manage Accounts.

Note: The information in this system is available to everyone. Editing privileges are based on permit membership.

Business Service Center Lookup
This tool provides a list of all BSCs and the center's director and staff members.

BSC KFS Organization Responsibility Lookup
This tool provides a list of KFS organization responsibility by entering a KFS org code, org type, or a responsible BSC.
