FY-2009 Budget Model Survey
February 4, 2008
It is time once again to prepare for the next fiscal year. CORE Budget will be holding a Brown Bag Lunch series at the OJA Building during the months of March and April, in the CORE Training Room (Suite 100). These series of one-hour sessions will include some training for intermediate/advanced users of the PeopleSoft Budgeting application and some question and answer sessions. Pre-registration is not required.
We have a couple of new functions that we plan to roll out this next fiscal year, one of which is called “line item mass adjustments”. This is an option that users have which will give them the ability to adjust multiple line items by increasing or decreasing the items by either a percentage or a fixed amount. The user will have to file an amended security form for access and attend the one-hour session for a demonstrative training. Look for the Line Item Mass Adjustment Guide to be posted in the Budget Application >> Budget Documentation.
The second function will give the users a historical analysis option. You will have the option to “sum” your original budget and all subsequent revisions and use this in your current budget as a history. If you are interested in choosing this option on your budget model survey, we encourage you to attend the Historical Analysis New Information Sessions.
So that you may be able to plan ahead, we plan to offer two (2) new-user P124 Budget Course Sessions in March and May at the Office of State Finance Office - 4545 N. Lincoln, Suite 297. (see below). These courses are intended for new users to the system who do not currently have a userid. Pre-registration is required.
See the following schedule of events.
Training Announcement for Budget Users:
Brown bag lunches are 1 hour sessions targeted to the intermediate/advanced user. All lunches, except the two (2) Agency Coordinator days, will be Question and Answer (refresher) with a main topic. There will be time on these days to discuss the main topic as well as any questions attendees may have. The Agency Coordinator & Line-Item Mass Adjustments sessions will be used to constitute training to get access in the Budgeting system (keep in mind that the agency must file an amended 301 BUD security form for either of these security access roles).
We have scheduled two full days of training for new users, (March 25th and May 20th - see below).
These training sessions are only for the users that do not currently have a userid.
Users who have id’s are encouraged to come to the Q&A, Historical, and Mass Adjustment sessions.
