The Effective Begin Date defaults to the Effective Begin Date of the parent budget line when default allocations are generated.

The Locality and Budget line fields are read-only and defaulted to the locality and budget line selected in the Funding Allocation Summary page.

 

  1. Click Save + Continue.

 

Repeat the process of allocating funds until allocation amounts for all the locality and budget line combinations are entered and saved.
