Launch an estimate to a top-down budget

You can launch a top-down budget, only if:

• The primary structure is activity-based. You can launch a top-down estimate to a top-down budget.
• The top down budget version status must be Free. If you use a version for the project budget, you can launch an estimate to a new top-down budget version.
• The project status must be Free or Active.
• If the project status is Active, the project plan must be the project’s leading plan.
• Verify the consistency of the structure, before the launch. If the estimate-version structure deviates from the project activity structure, you will receive an error message in the Message Log (tpest0505m000) session.
• If the leading plan does not exist for the actual project, the project is updated with the launch plan which is the target plan in the Launch Estimate to Budget (tpest2200m000) session. If an activity structure does not exist for the launch plan, the estimate-version structure for the plan is copied to the budget.
