13. 12 Frequently asked Questions I just deobligated a project and there is no operating budget so that I can re-obligate these funds. I obligated a project too soon, whom do I notify for a change in the award date? Why do I need to notify the HelpDesk, TBP and TPM when I obligate a project with the incorrect source of funds?

14. 13 Frequently asked Questions (continued) Why is TBP so interested in the data entered in TEAM by the regional offices? How long does it take for an obligation (grant award) or authorized disbursement (award execution) to be recorded in the accounting system?

15. 14 Frequently asked Questions (continued) How long does it take for a FPC (financial purpose code) transfer to be recorded in the accounting system. How long does it take for a disbursement to be reflected in TEAM? What happens when the user does a deobligation in TEAM and the grantee also draws down the available balance?

16. 15 Frequently asked Questions (continued) What is the difference between fund substitutions and fund adjustments? When is the best time to notify budget and accounting about anticipated reimbursable agreements?

17. 16 FUND CONTROL QUESTIONS? Why are there so many requests to update UZA records and operating budgets within the JARC program? What can TBP do to decrease the amount of requests for these type of adjustments? Why are there so many requests to transfer Bus earmarks from the State UZA to the smaller UZA’s? Can this be accomplished in advance?
