Information in the BW-BPS Application at the Start of Budget
HR Master Data
When HR master data is loaded into the BW-BPS system, only specific employee records are passed at
the master cost center associated with the org unit. Those records include employees that have an
employment status of active (3) or inactive (1) or the following employee groups:
Administrative/Professional (A) Clerical (B) Clinical/Research/Non Tenure Track Faculty (C) Continuing Lecturer (D) Faculty (E) Fire/Police Biweekly Salary (H) Fire/Police Management (I) Management/Professional (L) Non-Exempt Professional (M) Operational Assistant (O) Police Non Exempt Hourly (Q) Fire/Police Administrative (R) Post Doc/Intern/Residence Hall Counselor (S) Service (U) Visiting Faculty/Emeritus Faculty (Y) Non-Pay for IUPUFW Only (N)
The HR master data is loaded into BW-BPS with an effective date of the extraction. It takes a snapshot
of the HR master data as of that effective date. For the 2013-2014 budget planning cycle the effective
date for the final data load is April 30, 2013.
Calculation of the Current Base and Control Totals
At the start of the budget process a snap shot is taken of each college/major units recurring General
Fund Base as it appears on their Base Budget Tracking Report. This information is then used to establish
the current base for each budget line and staff group. These are the totals used in allocating inflationary
increases and making base adjustments. The Control Sheet is used to summarize the current base
budget, assign budget reductions, make base adjustments, allocate inflationary increases, make special
allocations and track shifts of funds between budget entities.
The 2012-2013 base budget for each area will be calculated as follows:
2012-2013 Total Budget + (or-) Recurring Adjustments as of 3/31/2013
7/28/2019 BWBPSManual - Budget Preparation
10/112
BW-BPS Manual 2013 Information in the BW-BPS Application 5
The Control Sheets are distributed to each College/Major Unit (Colleges, Schools, or Vice Presidents/Vice
Provosts Areas) at the beginning of the budget process. College/Major Units should then work through
the steps of the budget process outlined in Budget Preparation (steps 16) of this document. When
proposed information has been entered, areas can then review their control totals.
Each area receiving a general fund allocation is required to prepare a completed budget equal to the
areas control total. The control total (2013-2014Adjusted Budget) will be calculated as follows:
2012-2013 Base Budget - Budget Reductions (if any) + New Allocations (inflationary increases on S&W and/or S&E, etc.)
An example of the sheets and screens used in this process is included in this packet as Appendix I.
Please also refer to your area for specific internal processes/procedures.

Funds Budgeted and Retracted to Funds Management
For budget purposes, general and restricted funds are defined as follows:
General funds: 21010000-21059999
Restricted funds: All other funds
The proposed budget should include anticipated expenditures by general and restricted funds and by
major category of expense: salaries, wages, supplies, or other allowable commitment items (refer to
Appendix E). The fund distribution for all expenditures should be budgeted as accurately as possible.
All of the general fund budgets and some of the restricted fund budgets will be used to establish the
Funds Management (FM) original budget records for the upcoming fiscal year through the FM retraction
process.
The following funds are retracted to FM at the end of the budget planning cycle:
21010000-21059999 General Funds 22080000-22089999 Income Producing Continuing Education Admin 24010000-24039999 Auxiliary and Service Enterprises 24080000-24089999 Health and Recreation Services 31010000-31019999 Statewide Technology 32020000-32039999 Field Extension Agents and AG Initiative - CES 33060000-33089999 Animal Disease Diagnostic Control, State Appropriations, and AG

The following guidelines should be followed in budgeting general and restricted funds:
General Funds
Do not budget income. Do not budget expenditures for fringe benefits or Facilities & Administration (F&A) as they
are budgeted centrally. Do not budget graduate fee remissions as they are budgeted centrally in the Student Aid
budget.
Budget fellowship supplements only if funded from the general fund budget.

BW-BPS Manual 2013 Information in the BW-BPS Application 7
Restricted Funds
Do not budget income. Although not budgeted, sufficient income should be anticipated tocover budgeted expenses on funds 22020000-22029999 and 22030000-22039999.
Budget fringe benefits if these expenses are direct charged to the budgeted account. Do not budget F&A expenses as they are budgeted centrally. Do not budget graduate fee remissions or fellowships as they are budgeted centrally in the
Student Aid budget.

Budget Overview
The Business Warehouse Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS) system allows users to budget
salary information by person, salary information in total CUL, or in a lump sum such as a wage line.
Users can also budget supply & expense costs or reserve amounts.
Some limitations of BW-BPS include the following:
Employees cannot be added/deleted/moved by name. Promotion amounts by name cannot be added to the individuals proposed salary.
Vacancies are not rolled up into a reserve account, such as a reserve for unfilled positions (RUP). The
vacancy will appear in the account where it is budgeted.

Funds Management (FM) Budget Layout
Used to create or change the remaining items not budgeted in salary planning ( i.e., supply & expense,
fringe benefits, or reserve amounts). These costs are budgeted by funds center at the fund,
commitment item and funded program level.
The proposed distributed CUL and the Amount PC are displayed for each unique fund, commitment item
and funded program combination. Amount PC is the total amount for annual salary, administrative
adjustment, shift differential costs and other personnel costs from the salary planning layouts. The user
will not be able to change these personnel costs on the FM layout. To make a change to this data, a user
needs to edit the data in one of the salary planning layouts (exempt, nonexempt, administrative
adjustment, OPC layout, and Salary Distribution).
Note: When changing from the salary planning layouts to the FM layout, funds center must be re-
entered if not already completed at initial login.

Layout Information & Tips
It is recommended that users complete the layouts in order beginning with the Exempt Layout,moving from left to right through the Salary Distribution Layout for Salary Planning.
Fix errors as they are discovered. This will prevent additional errors and allow data to besuccessfully saved.
Use the arrow key to move between cells across the layout. To enter data, simply navigate to the white cell and begin entering data. Save before moving to next layout or after multiple lines of data entry. Only one person can be in each funds center at a time. Be sure to coordinate which funds
center each person is using to eliminate errors and locking issues.
Be sure to enter the applicable funds center in the salary planning layouts and FM layout if youhave not entered the application and completed a successful save. This will eliminate error
messages when saving for the first time. After entering the funds center in the FM layout, you
can then return to the Salary Planning layout and the funds center will remain in the FM layout.
For salary planning, the funds center is equivalent to the master cost center within the HRorganizational unit. All positions within an organizational unit inherit that master cost center.
Prevent user locks by turning off the pop-up blocker, using the exit button to close theapplication, and close the application before exiting the portal.
Review the header section of the layout (cells A1-C2) to ensure you are in the correct fundscenter and planning fiscal year.
SAVE AFTER DATA ENTRY IN A LAYOUT PRIOR TO MOVING TO THE NEXT LAYOUT!

BW-BPS Manual 2013 Common Errors 21
Common Errors
If two users access the same funds center and either user saves data, there is a potential for error
messages to occur and data to be inconsistent. The potential error messages are as follows:
Errors occurred when executing function ZP F002 (Delete Function for delta records/ZPM001(Delete Function for delta records.))
Data in Infoprovider ZBPS_HR01 is locked by user XXXXXIf these errors occur, one user must exit the system without saving any data entered. This will then
allow the other user to save without errors.
To avoid locking other users, data enter the budgeting funds center in the salary planning layouts and
FM budget layout upon opening the application.
To properly exit the application and release the locks on all funds centers accessed during the session of
the BW-BPS, select the exit button at the top of the application window.
If for any reason a preparer locks a specific funds center or a lock on a funds center needs to be
released, please exit the system and wait 15-20 minutes to the lock to automatically release. If the lock
does not automatically release, please contact the Office of Budget & Fiscal Planning. Be prepared to
provide the funds center to be released and the ID of the individual locking the funds center.
Please note: The start button displayed after exiting the application does not work. To restart the
application, use the browser close icon x in the top right corner of the window and select the budget

Prior to budget preparation, the data validation period allows users an opportunity to update and
correct HR Master Data using the appropriate HR forms. Some corrections and items to validate
include the following:
1.
All employees have an assigned: Budget Group Code (assigned by job, then budget group code is used to assign a
commitment item for salary distribution)
Shift Code (assigned by job) Budget Staff Rank (assigned by job) Gender (updated by employee only)
2. For merged appointments within your colleges/major units, validate that the portions inprimary and non-primary departments are correct.
3. If corrections need to be made to the above information, prepare the appropriate HR forms.If you have questions regarding how to correct a specific field, please contact the Payroll
Appointment Service Center ([email protected]).
The following reports can assist in collecting and validating this data:
1. The Exempt Layout reportallows users to view all the Exempt employees HR master data ina viewable report similar to the layouts themselves. The report contains all the data fields
that are extracted from HR. One drawback of this report is that when it is printed, the text
is very small, even on legal paper. The Office of Budget and Fiscal Planning recommends that
the report be exported into Excel and reviewed.
2. The Non-Exempt Layout report provides the same type of data as the Exempt Layout reportand has the same drawbacks.
The HR Extraction Validation report provides a high level view of the HR data. Free characteristics
in the report can be selected, added and removed based on the type of data users wish to see. The
advantage to this report is the ability to review the data at a higher level before viewing specific
employees data. The Office of Budget and Fiscal Planning recommends this report for HR master
data validation over the other reports described.

1.2 Review HR Extraction Validation Report Prior to Budget Preparation
After the BW-BPS application is loaded with final HR data, print and validate data totals before
making any changes.
Count or headcount of employees, current annual salary, current administrative adjustments, and
current CUL should all be reviewed. Free characteristic fields such as budget group code and gender
should also be reviewed.
If HR master data is incorrect after this final data load for budget preparation, contact the Office of
Budget and Fiscal Planning. Guidance can then be provided to address the incorrect data.
1.3 Validate Data During the Budget Preparation Process
As information is keyed into the system, additional reports should be reviewed showing both
current and proposed information. Reports listing warning messages indicating possible error
conditions are also available. It is suggested that reports are run during milestones in the budget
process and kept until the budget is finalized.
Warning Reports:
Warning reports should be run during milestones in the budget process, and before submitting any
reports to the college/major unit or the Office of Budget and Fiscal Planning. (All warnings should be
corrected except for Proposed or Current CUL is 1 or 0).
Analysis/Exclusion Codes not Valid: Validates that Analysis Codes of 1 have an ExclusionCode of 0 and Analysis Codes of 2 have an Exclusion Code between 1 and 9
Analysis/Exclusion Codes not Valid PDOC, INT, RES: Validates that all PDOC, INT, REShave an Analysis Code of 2 and an ExclusionCode of 7
Negative Amounts in Salary Planning: Verifies that negative amounts do not exist in anybudgeted field in the Salary Planning layouts (Negative amounts are not allowed.)
Prop & Cur CUL (0, 1, or GT 100): Verifies that Proposed and/or Current CUL is not zero orgreater than 100.00; also allows verification that a Proposed and/or Current CUL of 1.00 is
correct for the individual of 1% Capacity Utilization Level.
Prop Dist CUL not equal Prop CUL: Verifies that all Proposed CUL have been distributed Invalid Amounts in FM Budget: Verifies that negative amounts do not exist in the FM
Budget Layout (Negative amounts are not allowed.)

Step 2 Pre-Budget Allocation Activities
In order to speed up data entry, it is advisable to first complete some housekeeping tasks. There are a
number of tasks that can be completed once the BW-BPS comes up for actual data entry but before
allocations are distributed. These tasks are considered the pre-budget allocation activities.
Pre-Budget Allocation Activities
By entering or changing information in the system prior to receiving allocations, most of the work for
budget will be complete except for entering raises/inflationary adjustments to employees, wages, S&E,
and balancing to the control totals.
Enter vacancies on the Other Personnel Costs (OPC) layout in BW-BPS. Enter Budget Recovery lines on the OPC layout per instructions in Appendix J. Enter Proposed Administrative Adjustments on the Administrative Adjustments layout as
necessary.
Adjust individuals whose salary or CUL has changed since the extraction of HR master data. Adjust CUL for individuals changing their CUL effective at the beginning of the fiscal year. Please
be sure to only change the proposed CUL and not the current CUL.
Review the Current Salary and CUL for staff on Voluntary Early Partial Retirement (VEPR).Individuals on VEPR should be budgeted at their average annual CUL and salary dollars
regardless of the employees current salary and CUL.
Change Incl SA field to indicate who will be excluded from the salary analysis, if known. Enter account funding distribution for all staff. Enter General Fund Budgets for S&E, Summer Session, Wages, Fellowship Supplements. Enter Restricted Fund Budgets for S&E, Summer Session, Fringe Benefits, and Wages. Enter Graduate Student Lines and Limited-Term Lecturer Lines (Budgeted as Total CUL) on the
OPC layout for all fund types.
Zero proposed CUL for employees that have terminated, submitted a signed letter ofresignation, or for Long Term Disability (LTD) situations.
Verify status and accuracy of LTD employees.

Step 3 Enter Proposed Data
3.1 Exempt/Non-Exempt/Administrative Adjustments Layouts: Named Faculty/Staff Lines
Guidelines for Budgeting
Faculty, Continuing Lecturers, Administrative/Professional, Clerical and Service
Staff who are listed on the initial budget reports or extracted HR data and who are continuing should be
budgeted by name.
New Faculty and Administrative/Professional Staff
New staff cannot be added by name in the salary planning layouts. Instead, they are to be budgeted as
a vacancy on the OPC layout. Those new staff may be budgeted with a personnel number and name on
the OPC layout if the name exists in HR master data. This data is not passed to the HR R/3 system.
Appropriate HR forms are required to establish the employees record.
New Clerical and Service StaffNew staff cannot be added by name in the salary planning layouts. Those new staff may be budgeted
with a personnel number and name on the OPC layout if the name exists in HR master data. This data is
not passed to the HR R/3 system. Appropriate HR forms are required to establish the employees
record. Employees in their provisional period of employment (first 90 days) will only be eligible for a
budget increase if they are not getting a provisional period increase. If they are getting a provisional
period adjustment, they should be excluded from the budget analysis with an Incl SA value of2, and
an Excl Reason value of7.
Adjunct, Associate, Affiliate, Visiting Scholar, Courtesy and Faculty with Administrative Appointments
These appointments are not budgeted in BW-BPS.
Emeritus and Non-Pay Appointments
Typically, appointments for emeritus faculty and all non-pay appointments are not budgeted in the BW-
BPS system. If these appointments appear in the BW-BPS system, users will see a $0 annual salary and a
.01 CUL. Please proceed with placing zeros in all fields of the employees record. Users will also need to
place a 2 in the Incl SA field and an 8 in the Excl Reason field. Due to these actions, the employees
record will appear on the HR Retraction Exception Listing.
Post-Retirement Appointments
These appointments are not budgeted in BW-BPS.
Long Term Disability (LTD)
Biweekly staff that have been approved for Long Term Disability (LTD) but are still on an approved leave
of absence should be budgeted by name. Biweekly employees on LTD whose approved leaves have
expired should have a PA Form processed terminating their employment with the expiration of
approved leave status. These staff should not be budgeted. Monthly staff that have been approved for
LTD should NOT be budgeted. If the HR extraction loads their current salary data, users need to treat
them the same as a terminated employee in BW-BPS.
7/28/2019 BWBPSManual - Budget Preparation
31/112
BW-BPS Manual 2013 Budget Preparation 26
I.U. Faculty and Staff
These are the only non-pay appointments to appear in the BW-BPS application. I.U. faculty and staff at
the Fort Wayne campus who are extracted from HR will appear and may be continued by following the
procedures for budgeting continuing employees. They will be extracted with a current salary of $0 and
must be updated with current and proposed information. An appropriate Incl SA flag should beassigned to include or exclude each person in the analysis. These individuals will appear by name on all
reports during the budget process.
Administrative Adjustments (Recurring funding sources only)
Faculty and staff who have been approved for an administrative adjustment will be budgeted at their
base salary. All current administrative adjustments are loaded into the BW-BPS application during the
HR extraction process. The approved administrative adjustment with a recurring funding source must
be budgeted on the Administrative Adjustment layout entering the proposed amounts. The cost
distribution of the administrative adjustment will follow the base pay and be assigned on the salary
distribution layout. If the administrative adjustment is paid on non-recurring funds, the preparer should
not data enter it on the Administrative Adjustment layout. Instead, the user must prepare a PA form to
update that employees proposed salary and any changes to the administrative adjustment for the new
fiscal year. Following is a table indicating when a HR PA form is required, based on the status of the
Administrative Adjustment.
Note: Enter the administrative adjustment annual rate, including cents, based on the period rate on
Wage Type 1015. This will ensure the record is retracted during the HR Retraction explained in the FM
& HR Retraction section.

Voluntary Early Partial Retirement (VEPR)
Approval for an individual to start in the VEPR program or to change a previously approved arrangement
must come from the Provost or Treasurer. Because the arrangements can vary greatly, individuals
should be budgeted at their average annual CUL. Salary dollars saved can then be reallocated to the
appropriate budget category. To verify those individuals on VEPR, the ZHR_Leaves_Report should be
run. A Personnel Action (PA) form will be needed for any individual whose percent of effort will be
something other than the budgeted CUL on July 1.
Pay Scales
Pay scales for all hourly paid employee groups (clerical, service, student, etc.) are reviewed and
approved annually. The budgeted hourly rate for each employee must fall within the range for the
appropriate pay level.
Exceptions to the pay scale must be approved by each campus Employment and Compensation Office.
Pay scales are not reviewed in the BW-BPS application. A separate review process is performed by
Human Resources after the budget is retracted (updated) into the HR R/3 system.
Any employee whose hourly rate falls outside of the approved pay scale must have an approved
exception form. That form can be found on the Human Resources webpage at
http://www.purdue.edu/hr/Forms/ listed under Employment and Compensation as Exemption to
Nonexempt Pay Scales Request Form.

Shift Differentials
Shift differentials are used to compensate employees whose regular work schedules are other than the
normal daytime schedule. The differential is added automatically to the normal daytime hourly rate for
all hours worked in the regular schedule. If shift differentials apply, refer to Appendix D for more
detailed information.
Concurrent Appointments Appointments that cross two org units
It is the responsibility of the departments involved in sharing the concurrent appointment to
communicate the proposed annual salaries, increases, and any changes in CUL for each of the
concurrent appointments. BW-BPS will not audit for variations across 100% annual rates. Best practices
would suggest that the majority of concurrent appointments should have equivalent 100% base pay.
Merged Concurrent Appointments Appointments previously across two org units that have been
combined
Departments should work together to determine if more than one unit will report the CUL for
appointments. If so, users should proceed with the following procedures:
The Main Organizational Unit, or primary department, should budget the entire namedappointment but should distribute the portion of the CUL associated with the non-
primary department on the 99010004 fund in the salary distribution layout. This CUL is
excluded from the Proposed CUL Table 1A report in the Annual Budget Salary Planning
reports folder.
The Other Organizational Unit, or non-primary department, should budget a ConcurrentAppointment OPC item (CAXX) on the OPC layout, with the CUL distributed to the
appropriate general or restricted fund. This CUL is included on the Proposed CUL Table
1A report. For more detail on Budget Recovery refer to Appendix J, Letter F.
Users may run ZHR_INTERDEPTFTE in HR R/3 to help identify merged concurrentappointments.
Named Professorship Supplements
Faculty who have been approved for a professorship supplements will be budgeted at their base salary.
The professorship supplement is not affected during the budget preparation process. An ADPay form is
required each fiscal year for the approved supplement. The professorship supplement may be budgeted
as wages on an OPC item. For any questions regarding named professorships, users should contact the
Payroll Appointment Service Center ([email protected]).
AY/FY ConversionsIf an employee is converting between Academic Year and Fiscal Year appointments, the following
procedures are recommended for data entry into the BW-BPS system to reflect the converted
appointment. On the Exempt or Non-Exemptlayout, update the employees current annual salary to
the converted annual salary to reflect the new term of appointment. A merit increase should then be
determined based on that revised 100% annual salary. Please be aware that since the employees
current annual salary is listed differently than in the HR system, the employee will be listed on the HR

3.2 Other Personnel Costs (OPC): Unfilled Faculty/Staff Lines
Guidelines for Budgeting
Faculty, Continuing Lecturers, and Administrative/Professional
Any new positions, or positions that are anticipated to be unfilled as of the beginning of the fiscal year,
should be budgeted as vacancies. This includes current vacancies, as well as positions which will
become vacant due to retirements, terminations or resignations. If there is a termination or resignation
of a named employee listed in the Exempt or Non-Exempt layout, enter a zero in their proposed CUL.
This will eliminate the salary and CUL for distribution in BW-BPS. Be sure to complete a PA form to
terminate the employee from the HR system.
Positions authorized but held by the Provost should be budgeted as a vacancy.
Do not budget faculty and staff on Voluntary Early Partial Retirement as vacancies (they should be
budgeted by name).
All vacancies will appear in the funds center in which they are budgeted during the budget preparation
process. If a college or unit wants positions reflected in a central reserve, they must budget directly in
the central reserve funds center. As an alternative, budgeting the vacancy in the department and
7/28/2019 BWBPSManual - Budget Preparation
44/112
BW-BPS Manual 2013 Budget Preparation 39
preparing an FMBB to transfer the positions funds to the reserve in the new fiscal year. Please refer to
the college or major units budgeting procedures for the option that should be followed.
Clerical and Service
If a clerical or service staff member terminates, enter zero as the employees proposed CUL, then
process a PA Form to terminate the employee. If the position is to continue, budget the position as avacancy on the OPC layout using the appropriate position number to help identify the vacancy on
reports, if necessary.
When budgeting a non-exempt vacancy, enter a proposed hourly rate and a non-exempt employee
subgroup for each vacancy. This hourly rate then automatically calculates a proposed distributed
annual salary based on the proposed CUL of the vacancy line.
If a new position is being established, and Employment and Compensation has assigned the position
number and title, budget the position as a vacancy.
Data Entry/InstructionsBudget All Vacancies: Enter Data for Exempt and Non-Exempt Positions
1. Click OPC layout.
Select VAC XX item.
(XX represents number 01-50.)
Enter VAC XX item number in OPC number column of OPC layout.
OR
Select input help icon to assign the OPC item number.
Repeat as necessary to distribute multiple vacancies.
2. Select appropriate budget group code.
Note: This code is used to derive the commitment item for that specific vacancy funding. For
example, an Administrative/Professional position has a budget group code of 2007 which derives
a commitment item of 506010. See Appendix B for more selections and derivations.
3. Add employee number and name for reference only.
Note: Entering data into this field may reduce system response time.
This is an optional field.
4. Select cell forjob number.

Select input help icon .
Restrict possible job numbers to the correct vacancy item.
Example: A job number of 1001 is for a secretary, while a job number of 1004 is for an account
clerk. Both of these have the same budget group code of 2008 clerical. The job number wouldprovide a differentiation between the two clerical vacancies.
For Clinical/Research faculty vacancies, please be sure to assign a job number so that they can
be separated by Clinical and Research vacancies for use in Table 1B Supplement. If a job is not
assigned, then the vacancies will not appear on the table and will not compare to other CUL
analysis tables for validation.
This is an optional field.
5. Select employee subgroup.
Note: This indicates the term of appointment for the vacancy. For example Z4 is a 12 month
exempt employee. See Appendix C for more definitions of employee subgroup.
Hourly rate is required if the employee subgroup selected is nonexempt. The proposeddistributed annual salary will be calculated by the system for line items with nonexempt
employee subgroup.
For line items where a nonexempt employee subgroup is specified, the system willcalculate the proposed distributed annual salary amount using the following calculation:
(Prop Distrb CUL * (prop hourly rate * hours per year based on employeesubgroup))/100.
The hourly rate if entered for other line items not indicating a nonexempt employeesubgroup will not be used by the system to calculate the proposed distributed annual
salary.

dollars can be entered on these layouts for wages, summer session, fellowship supplements, promotion
allocations, etc. Refer below for specific instructions.

BW-BPS Manual 2013 Budget Preparation 45
data is successfully performed. This warning message does not need to be corrected, and data
will be saved.
Budget Recovery
See Appendix J for specific details on when to budget these OPC items.
Fellowship SupplementsDepartments wishing to use general funds to supplement University fellowships may specifically budget
these funds as a separate line item.
To budget a line for fellowship supplements on the OPC layout, use the OTH 01 OTH 50 OPC item.
Click Input Help icon to select the appropriate budget group code for fellowships to derive the
correct commitment item.
Reference Appendix B for the appropriate budget group code.
Summer Session
Departments may budget a line for summer session wages by also using the OTH 01 OTH 50 OPC item.
Select a budget group code for summer session (2014) to derive the correct commitment item (505060).
Note: The actual expense for summer session will not follow the summer session commitment item used
for budget. The actual expense will fall on the appropriate employee groups commitment item.
Promotion Allocation
Colleges/major units that receive promotion dollars allocated on their control sheet need to budget the
total amount like a wage line, but with the appropriate budget group code specific to the correct type of
faculty appointment.
To correctly derive the commitment item, refer to Appendix B.
OPC Layout Tips
Begin data entry on row 7. (Row six is not open for data entry even though it is colored white.) If a user uses all 20 lines of the data entry available, selecting Save will add additional lines of
data entry.
When entering an OPC item with no CUL, users will receive a warning message that indicates if aline item has a CUL of 0 or 1. The warning message is ok; no correction is needed as long as it is
appropriate for the line item.
For the characteristic (white) fields (OPC number, Budget Grp code, Employee, Job, Employeesubgroup, Position, Fund, Rec. funds center and Funded program), the key (numeric identifier)
must be entered. The text (description of the field) will automatically populate after selecting
save, refreshing, or moving to another tab.

BW-BPS Manual 2013 Budget Preparation 46
For the characteristic fields, data can be entered manually or users can click the Input Help iconto select the appropriate value.
When entering a funded program, enter as Not-Relevant and not Non-Relevant. Non-Relevantis an incorrect value.
Users should also make sure to select the Not-Relevant funded program instead of leavingfunded program blank, which results in an unassigned (#) funded program. During reconciliation
on the FM layout, entering Not-Relevant greatly assists in summarizing data.
When adding a name associated with an OPC item, user should not try to add free text to theOPC layout. If this is attempted and the user saves their data, the OPC layout screen will
completely blank out all data entered.
To use input help for any characteristic field, position the cursor in input field.3.5 Funds Management (FM) Budget Layout:
