Special Note Regarding Data Snapshots
During the budget cycle, on specified deadlines, the Budget office will take snapshots of the data in SF_PBCS. We will always notify the cabinet budget officers of when we will be taking the snapshots. The snapshots allow for us to capture the data at a specific day/time. Any changes made after the snapshot is taken will not be included in that specific snapshot. You can view the snapshots by changing the Scenario dimension in SF_PBCS.
For example, a snapshot was taken on Friday 5/22/2020 at 1PM. The scenario is named: Bud_FY20_05292020.
The Scenario dimension can be changed on either the the P/L Budget Division Report or the P/L Budget Division Report.
