Using version statuses of a top down budget

You to create multiple budget versions to support the changes in a project. You can use a derived-from or version structure to avoid the duplication of data. A top down budget version is assigned a status to ensure that the current version can be identified easily. The version status can be used when a top down budget is generated.

The status of the top-down budget version can be:

• Free: The data can be modified.
• Actual: The data other than the total contract amount, management reserve, and the profit fee, can be modified.
• Final: The amounts per activity/cost type in the Top Down Budget Data (tpptc5110s000) session cannot be modified.

You can change the status of the top-down budget from Free to Actual only if:

• No other version with the Actual status exists.
• No earlier version with the Free status exists.

You can change the status of the top-down budget version from Actual to Final only if no earlier version (in the same project) exists with the status Free or Actual.
