This article covers how to reclass a Commitment within the Resource Commitment Tracking Tool (RCTT) in EPBCS

• The following steps are for users of the EPBCS web application
• How to Reclass a Resource Commitment in EPBCS Web Application using Smart View is a separate article
  

Critical Concepts

---

• Reclass functionality in the RCTT allows you to correct an element of the Commitment record after resources have already been transferred
• You can reclass either the Source, the Destination, or the Budget Type of a resource Commitment
• All Reclass types involve creating a Reclass Commit record, which serves as the new Source record, even if the Source has not changed
• Reclass functionality operates using the calendar month, not the current ledger period - waiting until the final week of a ledger period (after the 1st of a month) can cause delays in processing reclass records
