Essential Information

---

• Please note: KB0033723, How to Reclass a Resource Commitment in EPBCS Web Application using Smart View is a separate article. 
• 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.

   • CT Approved Budget Amount in the month in which the original transfer(s) occurred, but no values in CT Amount/CT Total Amount/CT Amount Debit/CT Amount Credit.
   • CT Amount/CT Total Amount/CT Amount Debit/CT Amount Credit in the month in which the record was re-classed.
