Who Can Create an Advance Budget Request

An Advance Budget Number Request is made for a specific eGC1. You must be an owner of the eGC1 or have Read/Write access to create an advance. The owners of an eGC1 are the PI, Administrative Contact, Pre-Award Budget Contact, eGC1 Preparer, and Budget Preparer (if the eGC1 has a linked budget). You can request access to an eGC1 from a current owner or someone with Read/Write access.

Global Editors

If your only access to an eGC1 is through the Global Edit ASTRA role, then you need to add yourself to the eGC1 first. Open the eGC1 (from the Approvals tab) and use the Contacts & Access page to assign yourself direct access (or change the preparer or a contact, if appropriate). You can then create an advance.

The steps to do this are:

  1. Find and open the eGC1 on the Approvals tab.
  2. Go to the Contacts & Assign Access page.
  3. Click the Add Another User link in the Access section.
  4. Add yourself to the eGC1 with Read Write access.
  5. Save & Close the eGC1.
