--- title: "Budget Construction" canonical: "https://kb.uconn.edu/space/FPB/10942119947/Budget%20Construction" format: markdown --- **Budget Construction** is a module within the **Kuali Financial System**. There are two main roles that take part in viewing and editing budgets within the module: (1) BC Processors and (2) Fiscal Officers. Both roles have similar abilities within the module but are assigned to roles differently. Each organization (school/college/unit) is responsible for identifying BC Processor(s) on an annual basis before the budgeting cycle begins; Fiscal Officers are assigned as the approver to a given account upon creation. Annually when the budget cycle begins, the **Base Budget** amount is pulled from balances and posted to the General Ledger in the Budget Construction module. A **Budget Construction** document is created for each Account or Account/Sub-Account combination. The Budget Construction document contains a funding line for each object code with a Base Budget and/or Actuals amount posted to the General Ledger. The Office of Budget & Planning loads the control budget amount to each Budget Construction document using the revenue object codes **4100** – *FY Permanent Budget (BO use only)* and **4101** – *FY Fringe Rate Adj Bdgt (BO use only)*. Once the control budget amount has been loaded, the Office of Budget & Planning will push the Budget Construction documents down to the university organizations. At this time, BC Processors and/or Fiscal Officers have the ability to make updates to the **Requested** amount for **Salaries** and **Contractuals/Commodities** object codes. Before you begin using the Budget Construction module, please review the UConn Budgeting Cycle and Understanding Major Changes to the UConn Budgeting Process processes. > Macro (children)
