It has been modified to recognize the PeopleSoft Financials chart-fields for the current budget year. Information Services plans to re-write this application to facilitate budgeting in the new environment. The BBA application tracks departmental and University budgets by declining balance. Each budget year, beginning balances are loaded into the program from the Budget Prep program. As expenditures occur throughout the year, the beginning balances are decreased.
Monthly reports keep departments aware of their budget to actual variances.
Information Services has one employee assigned to maintain the Pioneer applications and an additional employee will be added to convert these programs to their respective successor applications.
