Common Problems • Function Code/Object Code and Allowable Expenditures: Only function/object codes that are approved by GaDOE can be used in Con App. If a grantee wants a code that is not in the drop down, please contact the Budget Analyst. • Unbudgeted Funds: All funds must be budgeted in Con App. Grantee should not submit budget for approval if there are funds that are unbudgeted. • Coordinator Sign off: Coordinator must sign-off on each budget before it can be signed off by Superintendent. • Superintendent Sign off: Superintendent must sign-off on each budget before it can be reviewed by program manager.

  18. Common Problems • Coordinator has signed off but forgot to upload required files: Response – Contact Superintendent to reject grant, this will allow coordinator to upload and resubmit. • My grant has not been approved : Response – Check the Program Status screen to ensure that the budget tab shows Superintendent or Budget Analyst has signed off. • Program Manager has signed off but funds are not seen in GAORS: Response – Look at date of sign-off by program manager, if it is more than two days, contact Grants Accounting – (Regina Hailey)
