(The Appropriation Ledger is no longer used, and the Allotment Ledger is always a portion of the budget, and never will be in balance with the others until year end). Contact SAO.

NAMING CONVENTIONS ARE CRITICALFOR AOB, AMENDMENTS, AND INTERNAL REVISIONS
Purposes Of the Naming Convention • If you do not follow the naming conventions, many of your budget reports will be incorrect • The Program Budget Comparison Summary and the Budget Comparison Report group by this naming convention, and populate the AOB column versus the Adjusted AOB column. • The Amendment Impact report also uses this naming convention to populate each of its columns. If this report is utilized it can help agency reconcile their managerial / operational ledgers to BudgetNet.
Naming Convention for the Amend ID Field Each Annual Operating Budget (AOB), Amendment, and Internal Revision will be tracked in the PeopleSoft System using the Amend ID field. Agencies must create a unique Amend ID code for each type and occurrence.
