The Grant, Project Costing, and Customer Contracts are all separate module; however these three modules need to work together to be successful.  The Grant Module is where grant information is recorded in CtcLink.  Colleges will still be submitting Grant Proposals via OGMS (Online Grant Management System).  Project Costing is where projects are created if they are not attached to a Grant.  The other important function of Project Costing is that this module collects all of the transactions that occurs and organizes these items so that they can help fulfill the requirements of the Grant or Project.  Customer Contracts is terms and conditions part of the Grant or Project, Customer Contracts also determines the way the grant or project is billed or invoiced.

The first steps in the Grant process is to create a proposal and then submit the proposal.  Creating a proposal is where the information about the Grant that you applied to be awarded is entered.  Due to the fact that the colleges are still using OGMS, this proposal might technically be awarded from the sponsor.  Even if this is already awarded by the sponsor the proposal and submission of the proposal is still needed.  

**Important Tip** In order to show the true business process please share the Project ID number(s) and Activity ID(s) to your colleagues who are testing the Purchasing and Travel modules; so they can create transactions that you can later invoice.

To use this UAT guide first review the business process flow diagram below, which outlines the various steps to complete the test activities.  Note that the business process flow diagram has distinct places where one can start testing this process, noted by a green 'Start' circle.  Use the diagram, following the arrows to each step that must be executed.  Use the Quick Reference Guide (QRGs) links, also below, to find the instructions on how to execute each step.  The Quick Reference Guides are numbered to match each box on the flow diagram to assistant testers with following the flow of the business process.  Once testing is complete for each box on the flow diagram, click the link in the Next Step (Tier 2) in the High Level UAT Framework section to access the next UAT Guide.
