June 17, 2026 SAGE Release Notes

SAGE Budget

New Object Code 39-00 Unallocated – Not Subject to F&A
A new object code, 39-00, is now available to budget preparers. It is selectable in the Other Costs section and is always excluded from F&A. Budget preparers no longer need to use custom F&A for unallocated expenses. This code is useful in a variety of situations, including:

  • Resolving $1 differences between budget calculations and the Notice of Award (NoA).
  • Lump sum entry when allowed
  • More efficient subaward worksheet setup

Note: 39-00 will only be selectable on newly created budgets. Copy a pre-existing budget to incorporate 39-00 into in-progress budgets. If your existing budget uses Custom F&A and 38-00 is excluded from F&A, your copied budget will convert 38-00 entries to 39-00.

Miscellaneous Maintenance

Fix: Grant Runner Personnel Order
