BUDGET UPDATE DOCUMENT (BUD)

1. BUDGET UPDATE DOCUMENT(BUD)

2. Overview • Purpose of the Budget Update Document • What to budget? • Where will the BUD load from? • How will budget documents be created? • Explore sections of the BUD • Budget Approval • HRMS Assignments

3. Purpose of the BUD • The Budget Update Document will be used to set the budget for a specific budget group. • Creates transactions to establish budget in *DEFINE. • The BUD will include position details if a position has budgetary funding. • Position details are included to assist in calculating salary subtotals. • If rate recommendations are made in the BUD, these recommendations will load to the Salary Update Document (SUD). • Positions in the BUD will not create assignments in HRMS or appointments in *DEFINE. • Position updates in the BUD will not update actual funding records in HRMS.

4. What to Budget • Budget Groups that have been budgeted in the past • To see what budget groups are currently budgeted, use the Document Status Listing on the web that can be accessed from the BUD site or via: • https://utdirect.utexas.edu/budget/bud/bud_grp/status.WBX • If a budget group is on this list as budgeted, then a BUD has to be created and approved forward for it. As long as the budget group is listed as budgeted, the budget group will show up in the official budget. • If you want to zero out a budget, you must create the BUD, zero out the numbers and approve it forward. Because two years of data appears in the printed budget, a budget group can only be removed from the budget when both years are zero in the BUD.

5. What to Budget (cont.) • New Budget Groups to the Budget • E&G (14 & 20) Accounts – These accounts have to be reconciled so they are only budgeted if there is a permanent funding source. The funding source would show up in Section 8 of the BUD as a commitment, allocation, or account transfer.  • Non-E&G • Designated (19) & Auxiliary (29) Funds – The general rule is that a budget group should have recurring annual income of $50,000 or more to be budgeted. • Service Center Accounts (18) – Any new service center budgets should be reviewed by the Indirect Cost section of the Office of Accounting (Virginia Oviedo) • Contracts & Grants (26) – Few departmental 26 accounts are budgeted through the operating budget process. Those that are budgeted are in large research units that use clearing accounts and have many administrative & professional personnel. • Gifts & Endowed Income (30) – • Gifts are generally not budgeted in individual 30 accounts. • Endowed 30 accounts are budgeted using the payout rate times the LTF units. Income amounts are updated by the Budget Office prior to the start of the budget process for existing budgeted accounts. If you have any new 30 endowed accounts that you wish to budget, please contact the Budget Office as soon as possible. • For non-E&G accounts, the Budget Office analyzes the totals that have been budgeted at the department level and compares to actual trends in previous years. The Budget Office then creates BUDs on non-numeric budget groups (“dummy”) to bring the total budget in line with our forecasts.

6. BUD Data will load from two sources: • For salary subaccounts (-01, -09, -10), position information will load from HRMS. • Position information will only load in a BUD if a position has budgetary funding. • For filled positions, the rate that loads in the BUD will be the incumbent’s rate that is effective 9/1 of the next fiscal year in HRMS for that position. • For vacant positions, the rate that loads in the BUD will be the FY Baseline that is effective 9/1 of the next fiscal year in HRMS for that position. • The allocation that loads in the BUD will be determined by the budgetary funding distribution that is effective 9/1 of the next fiscal year in HRMS for that position. • For non-salary subaccounts, the account totals will load from the current fiscal year budget plus permanent transfers processed prior to the BUD load.

23. Document Review (cont) • If a category exists in a document but nets to zero, the category will show in the document review with $0 as the amount. For example, if a document exists with transfers in and out that net to zero, the Transfers line will appear with $0 as the amount. However, if no transfers exist, the Transfers line will not appear. • The budget recommendation summary will update as changes are made within the document.
