2 Budget Amendment and Upload to Oracle

You can use Excel functions, such as copy and paste values and formulas, to update the values in your budget worksheet. Learning Note: If you manually replace existing values in a budget worksheet, the system flags modified rows by placing a flag character in the Upload column. When you upload your budget worksheet to General Ledger, you can choose to upload all rows in the worksheet, or only those marked with the flag character.

Caution Note: If you use Excels copy and paste functions to replace an existing value, ADI does not enter a flag character in the Upload Column. You can manually enter one by placing your cursor in the upload column cell where you want the flag character, then entering any character or number from your keyboard.
