Purpose: This procedure demonstrates how to upload formula allotment data in G5. A formula allotment is the assignment of funds for a formula record that will calculate per student costs when a student count is entered. The allotment amount entered for each formula record is generally for the total performance period for the formula record and is typically for a single budget period, though more than one budget period may exist for a single formula record. In the rare case where additional budget periods are added, there could be additional funds allotted and obligated for the record. The upload process also allocates the funds to the appropriate ACCS string(s). The ACCS strings may include one or many ACCS strings as defined in the associated grant schedule.
