Strategic Planning: Processing Submitted Budget Requests

Process a Submitted Budget Request

1. Go to the Planning tab in the side menu and click on Strategic Planning in the top horizontal menu. In the drop down menu, select Budget Administration. You will view a list of submitted budgets pending your review within the Pending Budgets for Review sub-tab.

2. Click on the appropriate budget request title.

3. For each budget item included in the budget request, review the budget item details. Then select the appropriate approval status from the Approval Status dropdown menu.

4. If you select Approved from the dropdown list, the requested amount auto-populates in the Amount Approved field. You can manually adjust this dollar amount. This amount will also auto-populate in the Approved Amount field above budget request table and will be visible to budget requesters when you click on Save and Submit.

5. If you select Denied or Suspended from the dropdown list, 0 (zero) auto-populates in the Amount Approved field. You cannot adjust this manually.

6. Click on Save to save your work and return to the budget request at a later time.
