This section provides technical knowledge associated with the Capital Budget and Reappropriation processes and use of the Budget Planning Module (BPM).
The BPM tool is used by agencies to plan the requested biennial agency capital budget based on the Guidance published by the Office of Budget and Management (OBM). Every two years, state agencies must submit to OBM in accordance with Section 126.03 of the Ohio Revised Code, a six-year capital improvements plan (CIP) and a two-year capital budget request. BPM will be used by agencies to enter capital budget requests and reappropriation requests.
The Capital BPM and Reappropriation processes are used to electronically prepare, review, and submit the biennial budget requests for agency planning centers. Steps are provided for each phase of these processes from beginning to end. While the budget submission will be done through BPM, agencies will still be required to send in hard copy documentation. Please note some BI reports that are generated using BPM data need to be included in a comprehensive hard copy submission to OBM.
Benefits of BPM include:
Spreadsheet upload for easy, accurate completion of line item entries.
Analytic reporting capabilities.
Data validation of ChartFields.
Streamlined application processes.
Reduction of user error.
Increased timeliness of submission.
Single repository and system of record.
