You are here:Award Budget

Non-Personnel

The Non-Personnel page of the Award Budget document allows you to select a budget period, specify Equipment, Travel, Participant Support and Other Direct cost details, and view a summary of this information.  It includes a selection/filter bubble area, and five expandable sections.

You add budget expenses to the tabs on this page by assigning object codes/cost elements (and their associated object code categories) with Total Cost dollar amounts.  Each object code/line item entry can also include Descriptions, Unrecovered F&A, Cost Sharing, and Quantity.  Additional attributes for each object code entry can also be modified within the Line Item Details section, tweaking the Start Date, End Date, Inflation indicator, On/off Campus indicator, applicable Rate Classes, and budget Justification. 

The individual expense line items are summarized automatically by the system and the cumulative totals are reflected in the Budget Overview tab at the top of the Expenses page.

The Expenses page is made up of the following three primary areas from top to bottom:

      Selection Area:  Allows you to select options from two lists and click a button to update the data that is displayed in the tabbed sections.  Refinements include the ability to specify a single budget period and limiting the view to either simple or full details.

      Tabbed Sections:  Give you the ability to view critical identifying information in the Budget Overview tab, and then the remaining tabs allow you to select and add line items for object codes related to categories such as personnel, equipment, travel or participant support.  After adding lines, you are then able to specify simple things like descriptions, costs and quantities for each.  Additionally, you can display more details that allow you to refine them further, like apply various associated rate costs.

      Action Buttons:  In addition to the standard e-doc buttons, you are also able to click buttons unique to this page that perform current period calculation and allow you to view personnel salaries.
