Post Administration

A post plan is officially moved over to the administration phase when it’s set to an active status.

During the administration phase, the administrator can modify the plan throughout a fiscal year. The system provides a different component (with a similar look and feel as the component used for post planning) for plan administration. The administrator can look up post plans to work on by post, or by payee, and perform these activities:

• Add new posts to existing post plan rows.

• Add new post plan rows.

• Update existing post plan rows and posts during the current fiscal year.

• Assign payees to vacant posts (manual or automatic through the post staff process (GPS_ATSTF).

• Perform actions on posts, such as relocate, reclassify, increment, decrement, cut, reserve, and block.

During the administration phase, if something happens (for example, budget revisions occur at the Government level and change the budget plan) and it causes the post plan (currently in implementation) to change, an amendment plan can be created to replace the current post plan.
