Budget Level

The budget level. For a budget structure, you can define up to nine summary levels.

Allotment, commitment, encumbrance, expense, payment, and available balances on levels 2 through 9 are always the sum of the balances of the level immediately below them ( Example, the balance at Level 2 always equals the sum of the balances of the budget accounts at Level 1).
