Note
An
authorized total is the amount of funding
available to be spent on a particular cost
object. This may be funding from a research
sponsor (WBS elements) or discretionary
money from other sources (internal orders).
The
authorized total does not represent actual
income to the Institute, but rather a promise
from a sponsor or donor to support a particular
project at an agreed-upon level of funding.
As expenses occur on the project, the sponsor
or donor is billed and income is received
to offset the project expenses. Eventually,
this revenue will equal the agreed-upon
authorized total for the project. The
authorized totals for consortium accounts
are currently updated manually. The Plan
Zero Summary Postings are not updated manually
but are updated by a program that is run
every other day which brings the summary
posting into sync with the authorized total
on any account that is manually entered
into SAP. CURRENT MONTH EXPENSE The current monthly expenses for each cost object from
the beginning of the selected fiscal period to the end
of the selected fiscal period. FISCAL YTD EXPENSE Lists the fiscal year-to-date expenses for each cost
