In CAMS, users will have the ability to charge those Projects for which they have been authorized, even if the charging Operating Unit (OU) is not the Project owning OU. It is expected that employees will follow the business rule of receiving authorization from the OU that owns the Project before charging the Project. Senior Management Advisors (SMAs) and Administrative Officers (AOs) will be able to run reports to see all charges made against their Projects. If unauthorized charges are made to a Project, SMAs and/or AOs will see this on reports. If unauthorized charges are found to be made, the OU that improperly charged the Project will be responsible for seeing that the charge is successfully backed out. Please refer to the Transferring Funds vs. Direct Charging Fact Sheet for more information.
