How to use SARA REGIONAL ?

At the central level:
The PMU sends to the regions their empty database, with the same budget structure as the PMU's (only the budget amount is different).

At regional level:
The RA has to import its DB (sent by PMU) in SARA REG

He enters the advance received from PMU then his expenses in the DBB,

On a regular basis (every month), the RAs check their DB and send them with the original supporting documents to PMU.

At the central level again:
With SARA PE, the PMU imports the expenditure and the contracts directly into the central database.

The imported expenditure will clear the advance (partly or completely) sent by PMU to the regions.
