20 Appropriation Number Profile

Centrally and agency defined. The Appropriation Number Profile (20) screen is centrally defined except for the agency budget indicators. The 20 profile creates a valid appropriation in USAS. An appropriation is the legislative authorization to spend an amount of money for a purpose.

Every appropriation is referenced by a five-digit appropriation number that can be associated with or looked up by an index or program cost account (PCA). An appropriation number identifies a strategy item or rider in the General Appropriations Act (GAA) or other legislation.

An appropriation number is created for:

Every line item strategy in the GAA, including every rider and special legislative bill that appropriates money;
Capital outlay for equipment and software;
Construction project for each agency; and
Miscellaneous appropriations, such as unappropriated, reappropriated and expenditures outside of the GAA.

The 20 profile also maintains many of the control indicators that relate to appropriations, allotments, agency budgets and allotments of agency budgets. Data elements such as appropriation group, comptroller object and program code contained in the appropriation profile must also exist in their respective USAS profiles.

This profile is included in the annual USAS profile rollover. Profile rollover creates new profile records to be used in the next fiscal year (FY) and appropriation year (AY) based on existing profile records for the current FY and AY.

ACTION (Required)
Enter the one-character action code.

A	Add a new record
C	Change an existing record*
D	Delete an existing record*
N	Next – Recall next record Note: The agency number is a required field for the next action to display information.
R	Recall

*Note: Record must be recalled before this action can be performed.

AGENCY (Control key – Required)
Enter the three-digit agency number assigned to the agency.

APPN YEAR (Control key – Required)
Enter the two-digit appropriation year. The appropriation year is the year for which funds are appropriated by the Legislature for setting up budgets, depositing money and paying obligations.

APPN NO (Control key – Required)
Enter the five-digit centrally defined appropriation number.

If adding a new record, enter the appropriation title (up to 40 characters) in the untitled field following APPN NO.

Note: The appropriation title will be displayed on recall.

Appropriation numbers fall into the following groupings:

00000 – 09999	Unappropriated and payroll activity
10000 – 13999	GAA regular line item strategies
20000 – 29999	GAA riders
30000 – 39999	Additional legislation that appropriates funds
40000 – 49999	GAA capital budget – Construction projects

PROG CODE (Optional)
Enter the four-digit program code if the appropriation equates to the strategy. This field is set centrally as blank.

Note: When the APPN LEVEL-PROG field on the 20 profile is greater than zero and the program code is not inferred by the PCA, then the program code entered in this field will be inferred during transaction processing.

COMP SRC/GRP (Optional – For informational purposes only)
Enter the four-digit comptroller source/group code to associate the appropriation with groups of comptroller objects as centrally defined on the Comptroller Source/Group Profile (D09).

REL APPN (Required to add new record)
Enter the five-digit related appropriation number. The related appropriation number must be either the appropriation number in the control key or an appropriation number listed on the D53 profile under the TABLE ID RELA. If the REL APPN field is left blank, it will default to the appropriation number in the control key.

APPD FUND I/E (Required if appropriated funds are entered)
Enter the single character for either include (I) or exclude (E) appropriated funds. The character entered in this field will apply to the subsequent appropriated funds.

APPD FUND (Optional)
Enter the four-character appropriated fund or appropriated fund range. This field is used to associate appropriated funds with appropriations. In transaction entry, USAS will verify that the appropriated fund inferred by the fund number on the transaction is allowed for the agency, appropriation number and AY on the transaction.

The appropriated funds must be centrally defined on the Appropriated Fund Profile (D22).
There are 10 appropriated fund fields available for use.
Each appropriated fund or range of appropriated funds must be separated by commas, and ranges must be identified with a dash.

In transaction entry, USAS will verify that the revenue object entered on the transaction is allowed for the agency, appropriation number and AY on the transaction.

The revenue objects must be centrally defined on the Comptroller Object Profile (D10).
There are 10 revenue object fields available that can be set up for each agency, appropriation and AY.
Each revenue object code or range of revenue objects must be separated by commas, and ranges must be identified with a dash.

For example:
```
REV OBJ  I   3790 , 3992 – 3994
```
To exclude all revenue objects, enter E in the REV OBJ I/E field and leave the REV OBJ fields blank.

There are 10 expenditure object fields available for use.
Each expenditure objects or range of expenditure objects must be separated by commas, and ranges must be identified with a dash.

For example:
```
EXP OBJ  I   7000 – 7899 , 7947 , 7961 – 7962 , 7968 – 7985

ALLOT CTL (Not currently in use)
Enter the one-digit allotment funding edit control indicator. This element determines the level of funding edit control on the AB table when comparing the AB allotment to the expenditures posted to the AB table.

	Blank – Required value if the `ALLOT SEL` indicator is N.
0	No – Funding edits not performed.
1	Absolute – Fatal error occurs if budget is insufficient.
2	Advisory – Warning message appears if budget is insufficient.

STATUS CODE (Optional)
Enter the one-character status code.

A	Active (Default)
I	Inactive

Note: The status code may be used in lieu of deleting a profile record to prevent the system from using the profile record for system processing. Set the status to I to inactivate profiles no longer in use.

EFF START DATE (Optional)
Enter the eight-digit effective start date (MMDDYYYY), which identifies when the information established on the profile record becomes accessible for system processing. Leaving this field blank causes the vendor/payee number to become immediately available for system processing, and the effective start date defaults to the current date.

EFF END DATE (Optional)
Enter the eight-digit effective end date (MMDDYYYY), which identifies when the profile record is no longer accessible for system processing. Leaving this field blank causes the profile to have no effective end date; therefore, any system processing using the profile record will not be restricted by the effective end date.

Non-construction appropriations have an effective end date of 0831YYYY, where the year (YYYY) is based on the year authorized plus the following two fiscal years.

Construction appropriations have an effective end date of 0831YYYY, where the year (YYYY) is based on the year authorized plus the following four fiscal years.

LAST PROC DATE (System generated)
Displays the last process date. The system defaults to the last date (MMDDYYYY) that any online modification (add or change) was made to the profile record.

Function Key Definitions

F1	(Help) Automatically links to the News/Help Table (90) screen. Will transfer to the appropriate type of help depending upon the screen and activity the user is on at the time F1 is pressed.
F3	(End) Returns the screen to the menu associated with that screen.
F4	(Interrupt) Initiates or ends an active interrupt. When ending an active interrupt, F4 returns the user to the original screen showing the same information as was on the screen when the active interrupt was initiated. This does not undo the last action.
F6	(Process) Submits transaction data to the edit process. If the edit process is successful, an acceptance message is produced, and the profile record information is stored in the system. If the edit process is not successful, an error message(s) will result. Retains current information on the screen upon completion of processing.
F9	(20B) Automatically links to the Appropriation AFR T-code/COBJ Profile (20B). If a profile record has been recalled and is displayed on the 20 screen when the F9 key is pressed, the agency number, AY and appropriation number will be carried over to the 20B screen.
