New Features in MARS as of September 2010

Reporting and Querying Module

DOC - Quarterly Budget Execution Report (Available in May 2010) - Displays the data submitted to NOAA Budget Office for submission into OMB's MAX system. This data is required by DOC per OMB mandate. This report uses a structure called the Budget Program Group, a grouping of programs defined collectively by NOAA Budget and DOC. The report includes the following tabs:
--NOAA BPG Summary - Shows Dollars and FTE by Budget Program Group
--NOAA OC Summary - Shows Dollars by Object Code
--NOAA OC Summary by BPG - Shows Dollars by Budget Program Group, Object Code, and Fiscal Month
(The three tabs above show the data exactly as it appears on corresponding tabs in the MAX system)
--Gain Loss Rounding - Shows the impact of entering dollars rounded to thousands (as required by the MAX system)
--Programs by BPG - Shows a program breakdown of the first tab (Dollars and FTE by Budget Program Group)
--Validate by ORF PAC - Shows the dollars and FTE by ORF and PAC and Line Office and can be used to validate the dollars against the NOAA Variance Comments ORF, PAC, REIMB Graph - With Responses report
--Data Entry - Displays the raw data submitted to MAX in the required entry format

DOC - Quarterly Budget Execution Report - CBS P4 to BPG Crosswalk (Available in May 2010) This report shows the mapping of programs to the Budget Program Groups defined by NOAA Budget and DOC. A second tab shows any programs that have actuals and are not mapped to a BPG.
