The grantor might request/permit an adjustment to be made to the award which must be tracked separately because they occur after the award is accepted. Grant Managers can track these changes to the original grant award, award amount or grant period via amendments. The system distinctly tracks the original award along with any amendments. These types of changes to a Grant Award are tracked via the Grant Amendment (GTAM) transaction and the Grant Amendment Status Folder (GTAMSF), based on user authorization. In turn, the Grant Amendment Status provides central tracking of amendment(s) to a previously awarded grant whereas the GTAM transaction updates the GTAMSF table.
The system will issue an error if you attempt to update fields directly on the Amendment Status Folder if a revision transaction is in Draft or Pending status. This edit prevents users from updating data on the Status Folder which will subsequently be overridden once the revision transaction is submitted to Final. The exception to this rule applies to the Completion Date, Approver Name, and Comments fields, which may be edited even if a Grant Amendment Revision transaction has been created for the Grant ID.
The Grant Amendment Status Folder (GTAMSF) contains the following tabs:
The "Make Adjustments to Grant Award" section contains instructions on making adjustments to a Grant Award using the Grant Amendment Status Folder (GTAMSF).
