Expenditure Types
Expenditures being charged to a sponsored project must be coded to the applicable expenditure type. All expense types roll up into an expense category. As long as there is a budget amount in the expense category, an expense can usually be coded to any expense line under that category. However, certain sponsor exceptions exist that override this rule of thumb.
The award terms and conditions determine whether prior approval for re-budgeting is required.
