Budget edits

Budget edits provide real-time budget enforcement for activity-related transactions that originate in other Lawson applications. Budget edits compare your costs (past, in progress, and current) to the active budget that you defined. If the cost associated with a transaction will cause the budget amount to be exceeded, then the application automatically stops the transaction. You can define tolerance limits for your budget edits for added flexibility. The specific formula used for budget edits is shown.

Note: If you use multiple currencies, then budget edits are performed after amounts are normalized to base currency.

(Posted Amounts + Commitments + Current Transaction Amounts ) <= Budgeted Amount (1 + Tolerance %)
