Requesting a Budget Change
IMPORTANT: All budget changes are now managed directly through the AOps system by the labs owning the budgets. This process replaces any previous methods and is the standard procedure for all adjustments.
How to Request and Approve a Budget Change in AOPs:
- Login to AOps: Use your lab credentials to access the system
- Submit and Approve Request: Navigate to the budget change section and fill out the necessary forms. Once submitted, the labs owning the budgets are responsible for reviewing and approving these changes directly within AOps.
- Implement Changes: Once changes are approved by the responsible lab, ensure that all modifications are accurately reflected in the system. It is the lab’s responsibility to update any relevant records.
Effective Date:
