The Allotment System (TALS)
TALS allows online development of the agency’s capital and operating allotment packages. It supports the allotment development, management, review, reporting and monitoring needs for state agencies, the Legislature, the Office of Financial Management (OFM), and the public. Agency allotments can be developed at any level of detail to allow for detailed analysis. Security levels are built in to ensure that only users with the appropriate level of authority have the ability to make changes after records are locked.
