The (19) APL line item is used for expenditures related to the Applied Physics Lab (APL).

Line Setup

The Cascade Entries checkbox will be checked if “Cascade entries on non-salary items” was selected.

Any Notes associated with this line item will display.

Update Periods

Values entered for the Description and the UW Sub-Object Code display for reference.

The name of the period and its date range will display at the top of the period column.

The Prorated Direct Costs line item (19-10) appears on the budget worksheet if the box for Budget includes Applied Physics Lab (APL) on the Properties Tab was checked.

The current PDC Rate displays when its box is checked. The value for each period on the worksheet is equal to the PDC rate multiplied by the total amount for Salaries less any amount for Sea Pay. These values are read-only.

For 19-00 (Dept. Admin. Overhead) and 19-20 (Accrued VAC/SL) lines, the total amount for each period will display.

Note: the (19-40) Department Fixed Fee line appears as the last line item of the budget if the box for Budget includes Fixed Fee on the Properties Tab was checked. The default rate is used to determine the Fixed Fee Value (FFV), which is equal to the Fixed Fee Rate (FFR) multiplied by the sum of the Facilities and Administrative Costs (F&A) and the Total Direct Costs (TDC).

FFV = FFR * (F&A + TDC)

The FFV is then added to the sum of the TDC and F&A to calculate the Total Project Cost (TPC).

TPC = FFV + F&A + TDC

The (08-02) Stipends line is used for student stipend costs. Stipends are not associated with a specific student.

When you are logged in to SAGE, but have not been actively using the system for 40 minutes, a dialog message displays indicating that your session will expire in 5:00 minutes. The dialog will continue to count down the time. You have the option to click “Keep Working” to re-activate your session.

If you do not click “Keep Working”, then when the time count reaches zero (0) minutes, your session will expire. Your browser will be redirected to a “session expired” page from which you can log back in to the system you were using. Any unsaved data at the time your session expires will be cleared.

The SAGE system has always timed out after 45 minutes of inactivity. We have now made the timeout more visible so you know that your session has expired, instead of sending you to the tasklist with no explanation.

The following image shows the session timeout dialog, with the time remaining until expiration and the instruction to click “Keep Working” if you want to continue to stay logged in.

This entry displays a total, and can be expanded to show additional entries.

  • Amount Subject to Facilities and Administrative calculation involves two factors
    • The F&A Base Type, which defines the object and sub-object codes included in the calculation
    • The F&A Rate for the period
    • Amount Subject to F&A = total direct costs for the included object/sub-object codes * F&A rate (for each period)
  • Reference entries in the expanded section (on the parent worksheet)
    • (03-62) Outside Services–Subcontract entries display their Amount Subject to Facilities and Administrative
    • Internal sub budget entries display their Amount Subject to Facilities and Administrative
    • Subcontract sub budget entries display their Total Project Cost (adjusted for the $25,000 cap per budget)

This line displays after the (38) Unallocated line or after (19) APL, if you selected it.

The system automatically calculates this amount.

  • Total Direct Costs is the sum of the amounts for Object Codes 01 through 38, plus, if selected, (19) APL. It does not include (19-40) Department Fixed Fee.
  • Reference entries in the expanded section (on the parent worksheet)
    • Parent Budget TDC, excluding subcontracts = Total Direct Costs – the sum of Total Project Cost of any subcontract sub budgets
    • Subcontract(s) TDC, less F&A = sum of the Total Direct Costs for all subcontract sub budgets
    • Total Direct Costs Less Subcontract (Consortium) F&A = Total Direct Costs – sum of the F&A on any subcontract sub budgets
    • Entries for any internal or subcontract sub budgets
      • Internal sub budget entries display their Total Direct Cost
      • Subcontract sub budget entries display their Total Project Cost

The following image shows the three standard rows and additional rows for two sub budgets. One is a Subcontract, the other is a UW Internal sub budget.
