Request sources.  Requests are received from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service--Cleveland Center, (formerly Navy Finance Center); the Defense Finance and Accounting Service - Denver Center (formerly Air Force Accounting and Finance Center); the Defense Finance and Accounting Service - Indianapolis Center (formerly U.S. Army Finance and Accounting Center); and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service - Kansas City Center (formerly Marine Corps Finance Center).  The various request formats are shown in the sample figures at the end of this memorandum.

6. Processing responsibilities.  Finance center requests fall into various levels of difficulty, and are answered on the levels indicated in the Mail Routing Guide.  All requests are processed in the correspondence sections.
