Enter Budget Data

(3 mins read)

DCO SmartPlanner allows you to enter the budget data for each category and link each item to an activity that you entered in your Work Plan. Every time you enter and save data in one of the budget category tabs, the summary tab will be updated with the latest data.

Each data entry tab has the same structure (with the exception of Posts):

Since posts are pre-loaded to the system, there is no "New Entry" button.

You will need to go through each tab and enter the data as necessary. When you click on the "New Entry" button, you can enter the appropriate data for the particular budget category. For example, for travel, you will see:

!!! Important !!!

• In the Workplan Activity field, you will only be able to add the activities that you added in the "My Work Plan" module (and not the complete list of generic activities).

• To select an activity, click on the field and the select the magnifying glass - this will allow you to select an activity or start typing the activity name to narrow down the search.
• Only SPTF funded activities will be available for selection. LMR budgeting is not yet available in the budgeting module.

Please ensure that you go through each tab and click on "Next". By clicking "Next" you acknowledge that you have reviewed the data entered for that budget category. You will only be able to submit the budget for approval to the Approver once you clicked "Next" on all of the tabs (even the ones not applicable to your office, if any).
