Seven short lessons, in the order you'll actually need them — from finding your office's page to calculating official travel expenses. Tick each one off as you go.
Every unit under the Office of the Vice President for Planning and Finance has its own page — Budget Services, Accounting, Fund Management, and Institutional Planning. Open Offices in the top navigation, then pick your unit to see its functions, organizational chart, and dashboard.
Need to check institutional manuals, compliance guidelines, or the Object of Expenditures? Head over to Tools & Resources and scroll down to the library scene. Simply tap any book on the shelf to open and read pages interactively right on the site.
Filing a trip? The Calculator / Learn about Traveling Expenses tool walks you through per diem and transportation computation, and the DTE Calculator gives you a straight number once you know your travel dates and destination.
The interactive DTE tool computes official travel per diems aligned with Executive Order No. 77 (EO 77) matrices. Complete your travel liquidation profile smoothly using these steps:
Need to reach a specific office or colleague? The Telephone Directory under Tools & Resources is searchable by name, office, or local number — faster than forwarding an old PDF.
PRINCESS answers best when you give it the specifics: the item or activity, the office involved, and — if relevant — the date or fund source. Compare these two questions:
Too vague — no item, no office, no context. PRINCESS can only guess.
Names the item (printer ink), the office (CBA), and the exact thing needed (OOE code).
Which trip, which dates, which fund source?
Gives the duration, destination, timeframe, and fund source.
Open PRINCESS from the button in the top navigation, or go directly to princess.kabanbso.uk.
For primary source documents — DBM national budget circulars and university executive orders — go to Tools & Resources. These link out to DBM's official site and the university's shared drive, so you're always reading the current version.
No — PRINCESS is open to anyone navigating PUP's budget and procurement process. For office-specific dashboards, check with your unit head on access.
The calculators are a planning aid, not the official computation. Always have Accounting or Budget Services verify the final figure before you file.
Yes — email [email protected] with the page and what needs fixing or adding.
Yes — this is the self-hosted, official version. Some legacy tools still link out to their original pages while they're rebuilt natively here.
