When balancing the OPTAR log, what report is crucial to submit in conjunction with the requisition log?

The crucial report to submit in conjunction with the requisition log for balancing the OPTAR (Operating Target) log is the NAVCOMPT 2156 (TL). This report, known as the Transaction Log, provides necessary details on all transactions that have occurred within the OPTAR account. It includes data on requisitions, expenditures, and adjustments, which are essential for accurate tracking of available funds and the financial status of the logistics operations.

Having the Transaction Log on hand allows personnel to cross-reference and verify requisition actions against what has been recorded in the OPTAR log. This ensures that any discrepancies can be identified and rectified promptly, maintaining financial accuracy and accountability in logistics operations.

The other reports, while important for different aspects of budgetary and financial management, do not serve the same direct purpose in conjunction with the requisition log. For instance, the NAVCOMPT 2157 focuses on the overall OPTAR status, the NAVCOMPT 2155 is concerned with budgetary projections, and the NAVCOMPT 2159 details expenditures. However, the Transaction Log is specifically designed to complement the requisition log for the purpose of detailed tracking and reconciliation of transactions and fund availability.
