Process Step ID | Process Step Title | Description of Process |
|---|---|---|
1 | Perform FCO Project Budget Analysis | The Agency PC Maintainer will review the Appropriation Budget vs Project Budget report (PCR015) to identify any variance between what is obligated in Project Costing for each FCO appropriation. The Agency PC Maintainer will utilize the FCO Certified Forward Request Detail Report (PCR013) to identify the Project(s) and Activity(ies) that are over obligated within the project ledger (see figures 12 and 13). |
2 | Notify PC Processor to Reduce Project Budgets | If the Agency PC Maintainer determines that projects are overbudgeted within the PC module, the Agency PC Maintainer must notify the Agency PC Processor to reduce the budgets accordingly. |
3 | Update Project Budget | The Agency PC Processor will adjust Project Budgets recorded within Project Costing via the 90.1.3 Define Project Budget subprocess. |
4 | Notify PC Processor to Add New Project or Increase Project Budgets | If the Agency PC Maintainer determines that there is sufficient appropriation remaining, the Agency PC Maintainer will notify the Agency PC Processor to add a new project and project budget, and/or increase an existing project’s budget to obligate the remaining appropriation, as appropriate. |

Accounting Events
Accounting events originate during transaction processing in the applicable source module. The accounting events impact the source module, Commitment Control ledgers, and the General Ledger (Actuals).
- Source Module accounting entries require user input (I) of the primary line (i.e., expenditure, revenues) with an automated (A) system offsetting line (i.e., payable, receivable) during transaction entry. The source model transaction must pass Edit Check, Budget Check, and Cash Check (on applicable entries) prior to posting the transaction.
- The Run Budget Check (Commitment Control) process automatically affects balances in the appropriate budget ledger (i.e., appropriation, spendable cash) if the transaction passes the budget check process.
- After the transaction is posted in the source module, an automated system process summarizes and posts the entries in the General Ledger module to the Actuals Ledger.
The table below provides the most common accounting events applicable to this business process.
