Classroom Training

BPS Development training for FY08-09 consists of classes designed for new BPS users, as well as refresher classes offered by topic for experienced BPS users.

The classes for new users will cover all aspects of budget development and the seats are strictly reserved for those new to budget development.

The refresher classes will cover the individual topics of Position, Non-Position, Reporting, and Multi-Year Planning. Experienced users can choose to attend as many refresher topics as needed -- from one to all. Remember that the step-by-step instructions are also available on the online BPS tool for reference as needed.

Description:

As in the past, all budget modifications to the current unrestricted (1xx) funds must be balanced. In addition, all budget modifications must be approved by your management center. The approval process is built into the STS workflow process in BPS.

Once all budget modifications have been consolidated and approved in BPS, the budget modifications that impact cost centers and profit centers will be loaded into SAP. Any budget changes impacting all other cost objects (e.g., 3xx or 7xx funds) will only be reflected in BW-BPS.
