2 Budget Process Introduction & Objectives UTHSCSA implemented the Budget Workflow process to assist users in navigating through the various panels needed to complete the annual budget process. The Budget Workflow guides the user through the panels involved in the Budget process using 7 steps. These steps are explained further in this guide. Steps 1-3 are the responsibility of the Budget office and begin when they receive the budget information from Austin. This is when the timeline is created and published and the deadlines are established. As the fourth step in the Budget process, the departments are responsible for editing of their budget information. Step 5 is the responsibility of the Executive Committee members and then steps 6-7 are again the responsibility of the Budget office. The steps and panels that follow require the user to enter data about the Budget for their particular department on their particular step. Once the deadline has been reached, the Budget office will then initiate the next step in the Budget Process. Once the next step is initiated, there is no way to go back to the previous step. After all steps have been completed, the Regent s Report will be run and submitted to Austin. The processes we will review are: Describe the budget process Identify and describe the 7 steps for the Budget Process Review the timelines and deadlines Describe the Query reports Identify the steps for entering the Budget information Enter the Budget information Key Points Upon reviewing these topics, you will be able to complete Steps 4-5 of the Planning Budget Process by: Creating a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet by exporting the departmental data to create a working document Completing data entry for your department s budget Printing a copy of your fiscal year budget DCATS Option 5 Page 2

13 To view all departments under your responsibility leave the search field blank and click the Search button. The screen below will appear and contains the following components. The EC Target amount will have been previously entered by the Budget & Planning Office and will agree to budget documents provided to respective Executive Committee members. DCATS Option 5 Page 13

14 The Distributed Target amount reflects the cumulative target allocations your office has made to your departments through HCM. The Distributed Target amount will change according to what you have allocated and entered into the system, and after the ½ hour refresh process has run. If the amount is less than the EC Target amount, then you have not fully distributed targets to your departments. If the amount is greater than the EC Target amount, then you have allotted more budget to your departments than the institution has authorized for your area. The steps to perform target allocations are discussed below. Initially, the Total M&O Funding amount will be the cumulative non-salary budgets brought forward (copied) from the prior fiscal year s Planning Budget files for all of your departments. This amount will change as departments update the budgets for their M&O accounts and after the hourly refresh process has run. Initially, the Total Salary Funding amount will reflect cumulative salary appointments on positions captured during the Budget Snapshot for all of your departments. This amount will change as departments update position budgets and after the hourly refresh process has run. The Funding Total amount is the sum of the Total M&O Funding and the Total Salary Funding amounts. This amount will change as departments update their non-salary and position budgets, and after the hourly refresh process has run. The Free Balance amount is the difference between the EC Target and Funding Total amounts. This amount will change as departments update their non-salary and position budgets, and after the ½ hour refresh process has run. If the amount is positive, then you have not fully utilized the overall budget authorized by the institution among your departments. If the amount is negative, then you have exceeded the overall budget authorized by the institution among your departments. DCATS Option 5 Page 14
