We’ll prepare the plan in a format that separates and allocates fixed and discretionary costs to show you where your spending flexibility may be.
Fixed Costs are expenses that do not change as a function of the activity of the business.

A: The accruals will be in GL 6505 Accrued Expenditures/Expenses and GL 6560 Estimated Accrued Expenditures/Expenses.
Q: How long will the budget allotment meetings be?
A: We are scheduling one hour meetings to review allotments with your agency.
Q: How can the agencies get invoices to DES to pay by July 15 or accrue by July 24 when the initiating agency doesn’t mail the invoice out until July 23 rd?
A: If DES does not receive the invoices for accrual prior to July 24, it is best to send DES an estimate accrual.
