Departmental Budget Requests (DBRs) automate budget and fund transfers at the departmental level. The source department initiates requests to move a budget (or funds) from one account (source) to a single account or multiple (destination) accounts.
DBRs can be initiated from either FAMIS (Screen 520) or Canopy (FRS > DBR > Create DBR).
The documents are routed through the source and destination departmental routing and approval paths to acquire the required electronic approvals. Upon final approval by the DBR Processing Office, the requested budget transfer(s) are posted to the accounts in FAMIS.
DBRs do not initiate transfers across system members.
Additional information about DBRs is available in the FAMIS Departmental Budget Request (DBR)
User Manual.
