labelSummary

Projects now have an appropriate budget template added when the project is created. Users run the 03.01a Project Budget Request process to create the project budget. No Excel template/spreadsheet is required to create or gain approvals of a project budget.

Once the budget is created the process is routed for Director approval depending on project type.

This process also results in the assignment of a cost object to the project.
