What adjustments are done to the departmental budgets at a Processing Center level?
The Processing Center makes two (2) adjustments to the departmental budgets. One is for carryover specific requisitions and the other involves the classified pay plans and/or contracts. The budget supplement for carryover specific requisitions from the previous year is done after the Red Book data has been loaded to the accounting master file. This adjustment is done under transfer number BUDP with a reason code of PY . These adjustments are done for all UWPC and all appropriations per UW System.

Contra accounts are special fund account records that reflect budgets at a unit, activity and major class level. The Red Book departmental budgets contain pay plan dollars for the unclassified staff. They do not include pay plan or contract dollars for classified staff. These dollars are held in camp
