Budget Category Type

The Budget Category Type maintenance document enables you to establish and edit types of budget categories and specify the sequential order in which they are sorted when made available for reference/selection in proposal & budget development. Budget Category Types appear as sections on the Budget e-doc, Non-Personnel tab.

Existing Value Modification Caution: It is recommended that you not delete existing values, and modify them only if the new description is synonymous with the original name. Existing values can be edited as long as the description is synonymous with the original term. New values can be added. You should not delete existing values.
