Inquiring on budgets using budget control

You can compare budgets for two companies on Budget Analysis (FB95.1). See Analyzing budgets.

After you define budget data, you can inquire on budgets to review or compare data at specific levels. You use budget controls to determine if you must calculate the budget to incorporate any changes. Use this optional procedure to analyze budget data.
