Cost Sharing

The Cost Sharing Distribution List section of the Cost Sharing tab is used to allocate any cost sharing committed in the budget to the appropriate source (account).  If enabled, a validation error will ask you to distribute cost share expense if there is any cost sharing in any period for the budget.  Distributing cost sharing means to provide account numbers, department, or office name, responsible for supporting the expense.  This section allows you to distribute the cost share by dollar amounts to specified source account(s) and specified fiscal years.  It also displays a summary of committed cost share both by individual budget periods and a project total.

 

If the parameter ‘budgetCostSharingEnforcementFlag’ is off (where the value is set to “0” to indicate disabled), KC does NOT require that the Total Cost Sharing amount be fully distributed in the current committed Award version
