GR Reconciliation Reports

  • GR_201A — Ties to the GR Reconciliation row 55 “Computed Legislative Appropriation for Balance Sheet (Asset Bal 8/31)” in column B — Direct Strategy. Provides beginning balances, fiscal year activity and ending balances for direct strategy appropriations by fund type. The budget type indicator on the USAS Appropriation Number (20) profile is A.
  • GR_201D22 — This report is the same as the GR_201A except that it replaces the GAAP fund with the appropriated fund.
  • GR_201N — Ties to the GR Reconciliation “Computed Legislative Appropriation for Balance Sheet (Asset Bal 8/31)” row 55 in columns C–J. Lists all legislative appropriation other strategy budget type “N” activity by appropriation number. Provides beginning balances, fiscal year activity and ending balances for unappropriated and non-budgeted appropriations. The budget type indicator on the USAS Appropriation Number (20) profile is U or N.
  • GR_202 — Ties expenditures shown on the report to the GR Reconciliation “BRP Appropriation” line 200600 in column H — BRP and column J — Other. This report provides current fiscal year activity for BRP expenditures in all AYs.
  • GR_202A — Ties to the GR Reconciliation “Computed Legislative Appropriation for Balance Sheet (Asset Bal 8/31)” row 55 in column H — BRP. This report should also be used to determine if an agency needs to return or request additional BRP. Tip: A negative balance on this report means the agency must return funds to the receiving account and then to agency 902 for that specific AY. A positive balance on this report means the agency must transfer more funds from the receiving account. Request the funds from agency 902 for that specific AY if there is not a balance in the receiving account that could be transferred to the direct strategies.
