In the budget, I have several people under the same group or category (i.e. Summer Faculty, Post-Doc On, etc.) and want to turn off inflation, or uncheck a rate for one person in this group. How do I do that?

The KC budget tool automatically ‘groups’ assigned personnel by cost element (object code, and G/L); meaning if you add two project persons as Summer Faculty, for example, two rows, one for each person, appear in a Cost Element group of the same name. Each person will have their own line with a Details button, but the cost object group has a single Details & Rates maintenance window. Any edits to the Details & Rates for the Cost Element affect ALL persons in that group.

For a step-by-step guide on how to make these changes, please refer to the Quick Reference Cards page for Budgeting for Personnel Using Groups.
