As a reminder, documents within the Budget Construction module do not go through workflow; thus, BC documents do not route for approval. Instead of workflow, a BC document for the given account will go through a process of being pushed down to a lower level or pulled up to a higher level within the organization hierarchy in order to give edit access to the appropriate BC Processor or Fiscal Officer.

When the budget cycle opens, the Office of Budget & Planning will push down all BC documents to the organization level. At that point, it will be the BC Processor(s) decision on whether BC documents will be pushed down to the individual organizational levels within the organization hierarchy.

You can pull up and push down individual BC documents by account as well as multiple BC documents by organizations.

Pushing Down by Account

To gain edit access to a BC document, the document must be at the Level Chart/Org that matches the BC Processor chart/organization assignment. Thus, you would use the push down functionality to give edit access to BC documents currently at your level to BC Processor(s) at a lower level in the organization hierarchy.

1. Open the Budget Construction Document you would like to push down.
2. Verify the message **"*****Edit access granted*****"** is at the top of the screen.
3. In the **System Information** tab, select the level you would like to push the document down to.
4. Click **Push Down**.
5. Verify the message **"*****View only access granted*****"** is at the top of the screen.

Pushing Down by Organization

To gain edit access to a BC document, the document must be at the Level Chart/Org that matches the BC Processor chart/organization assignment. Thus, you would use the push down functionality to give edit access to BC documents currently at your level to BC Processor(s) at a lower level in the organization hierarchy.

1. On the **Budget Construction Selection** screen, click **Org Push Down**.
2. On the **Organization Selection** screen, use the **Select Point of View** dropdown to select the organization you would like to view. The organization(s) you are assigned to as a BC Processor will be listed in the dropdown.
3. Use the **Action** arrow(s) in the **Organization Sub-Tree** section on the **Organization Selection** screen to drill down and find the organization(s) whose documents you wish to push down.
  :warning: Note: The Organization Sub-Tree follows the Organization Hierarchy defined on the Chart of Accounts module.
4. Use the **Selected** dropdown to the left of the organization to select an option or use the buttons at the bottom of the **BC Pull Up Organization Selection** tab to set all the organizations within the view to the same option.
5. For the purpose of this example, click **Set Org**. Under the **Push Down Candidates** tab, click **View** for the **List Pushdown Candidate Documents** option. Click **Push Down** to review the documents that will be pulled up.

:warning: Note: There may be a message at the top of the screen saying "There are no budgeted accounts for the selected organization(s) at the point of view level: UC ####.()" This means that the BC documents for the accounts within the organization hierarchy are already at your level or above your level, and you are unable to pull up the documents to your level at this time. You can only pull up documents below your level within the organization hierarchy.
6. The **Budget Construction Account Select Lookup** screen will display with the list of documents that are push down candidates.
7. Click **Cancel **to return to the **Organization Selection** screen.
8. Click **Push Down** at the bottom of the **Organization Selection** screen.
9. Verify that the message at the top of the screen reads "The selected Push Down was successful."
