You can learn how to use the 2PLG and why its removal is important.

If you make an adjustment to the budget for a position's salary, the system will add an offsetting adjustment by adding a new funding line to the **Expenditure** tab of the BC document. The new funding line will generate for the object **2PLG** – *Temporary BC Salary Offset*. If multiple funding lines are adjusted on an account, the 2PLG (pronounced "two plug") will accumulate and display the impact of all changes to all salary object codes in one **Requested** amount.

The 2PLG can be a helpful tool for budgeting. The 2PLG feature gives you the ability to track changes, thus limiting the risk of making significant data entry errors. This includes adjusting current FTEs, adding TBA positions, or deleting a position. You can monitor the total impact of salary changes in comparison to the originally requested salary loaded from HR Payroll and Position Management.

Removing the 2PLG

Since the 2PLG is represented as a negative **Requested** amount, it is important to remove the 2PLG so it does not impact your bottom line. Once you are done using the 2PLG for review purposes, simply click the **delete** button for the 2PLG funding line.

Using the "List 2 PLG" Report

The **List 2PLG **report can be used to verify that all 2PLGs have been removed from the BC document for all accounts before you request a pull-up or push down.

> ℹ️ For more information on reporting within the BC module, see [Generating a BC Canned Report](https://uconn.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FPB/pages/10942120098/Using+the+Lock+Monitor+Screen#_Generating_a_BC).

1. On the Budget Construction Selection screen, click **Org Report/Dump.**
2. Use the **Action** arrows in the **Organization Sub-Tree** section of the **Organization Selection** screen to drill down and find various Organizations.
  :warning: Note: The Organization Sub-Tree follows the Organization Hierarchy defined on the Chart of Accounts module.
3. Select the checkboxes for the organizations you would like to generate a report for. If you would like to generate a report including all the organizations in the **Organization Sub-Tree** section, use the **Select All** button.
4. In the Reports and Exports section, click **View** next to the **List 2PLG** option.
5. Notice the message at the top of the Budget Construction Account Select Lookup screen. Click **Submit**.

Below is an example of the **List 2PLG** .pdf report.
