Flat amount

This action type supports bonus, training, benefits or other costs expressed as an amount.

When this action is applied, an annual amount must be specified. You can specify a positive or negative value.

This action type can apply to a single period or spread across the budget year.

This is the calculation rule if the action is spread across the budget year:

Flat Amount * (Period's Spread Factor/Total Spread Factors)

No calculations are required for a single period flat amount. The entire flat amount is applied in a single period.
