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.

Sub budgets may be included in any budget. Each type of sub budget serves a particular purpose.

Field Description
Internal UW Budget Since it inherits all of the parent budget’s UW business rules, benefit rates, and F&A settings, it can be used to break out budgets for separate UW departments, for example.
Fabrication Budget The data in this sub budget rolls up to a single line on the parent budget under the (06) Equipment category.
Subcontract Budget The data in this sub budget rolls up to a single line on the parent budget under the (03) Other Contractual Service category.

A subcontract sub budget can also support custom external F&A rates and external benefit rates.

The Sub Budgets tab lists all sub budgets associated with the parent budget.
