Redefining budget granularity

In the budget sessions, to redefine budget granularity, you can use either the Rollup or the Rolldown command on the appropriate menu:

  • Rollup

    Redistributes the budgeted hours for the Period Table Code parameter setting across the periods defined by the period table code specified in the budget session, and recalculates the budgeted costs accordingly.
  • Rolldown

    Redistributes the budgeted hours for the period table code specifed in the budget session across the periods defined by the Period Table Code parameter setting, and recalculates the budgeted costs accordingly.

Example

  • These period table codes exist:

    • PTC1: Quarterly definition, four periods
    • PTC2: Four-weekly definition, 13 periods
    • PTC3: Weekly definition, 52 periods
  • PTC3 is specified in the Period Table Code field of the People Parameters (bpmdm0100m000) session.
  • Budget is maintained per quarter, while performance is tracked per week.

In this case, use the Rolldown command to have the budgeted costs calculated per week:

After you switch to the PTC2 period table code, use the Rollup command to redistribute the budget from the periods defined by PTC3, across the periods defined by PTC2:
