Add Other Direct Costs: Assign Non-Personnel

Ø On the Non-Personnel Costs screen, click the [Assign Non-Personnel…} button to open the window.

o  Click in the Category field and select one budget category: Other Direct.

o  Click in the Object Code Name field to display the drop-down list for other direct cost objects maintained in your implementation.

o  Enter an amount in the Total Base Cost field.

o  Enter a Quantity related to the cost in that field, if desired. (For reference only; does not calculate).

o  Enter a Description in that field for reference only.

o  Click the [Add Non-Personnel Item to #] button to save this item to the budget. Otherwise, click [Cancel] or the [x] button at the top right corner of the window to close the window without changes.

Subaward Tip: Use the Subaward screen’s +Add Subaward tool to insert the necessary line items into your budget! While you may manually select and maintain subaward cost objects in the Other Direct Cost section, using the tool is more convenient and is programmed to use the correct ones. You don’t need to upload an S2S Budget form; you can manually enter the Direct and Indirect expenses for the subawardee for the system to populate the budget periods.
