15. TEAM Milestones: If new milestones were populated in the revised estimated completion date column and there was no original date, you may see incomplete information displayed (MM/DD/YYYY). We are aware that this is causing issues with completing MPRs, we are investigating a solution. In the interim please use the remarks to address changes or provide an attachment. (TEAM top and TrAMS Below)

16. What is a PROJBUD Line Item?
Applies to TEAM awards only! If you added milestones to the Scope Code versus the ALI, you will see a new line item called “PRJBUD” which were created to accommodate scope code milestones. You must report on these milestones. Example below.

17. The PRJBUB Scope will not have amounts associated
The PRJBUB Scope will not have amounts associated. Will not have associated ALI Information, and cannot be modified. Only the Milestones.
