How much budget information do I have to enter in order to produce agency forms?
You need to enter information on the period tabs. Looking at the agency’s form, you will see categories for travel, equipment, consultants, etc. This level of detail is captured at the cost element level and, therefore, can be printed on the agency’s form. However, when we deal with people, there isn’t always enough level of detail to produce the form. At times, there is. For example, many forms have a budget category for GRADUATE STUDENTS. They do not ask for the individual’s name. They simply want the number of graduate students and the amount requested. In this case, using the period tabs may be sufficient. On the other hand, for senior personnel, they often require the name of the individual. In these cases, the period tab will *not* have a sufficient level of detail to produce the agency’s form you would need to add a budget person and assign that person to that cost element.
