Defining budget edit parameters

To edit budgets, you must assign the accounts where you want the system to perform the edits. You can enable budget editing for all detail accounts under a summary account. Use this procedure to define budget edit parameters.

  1. Access Chart of Accounts (GL00.1). To enable budget editing at the summary level, select More beside the summary account that you will enable the budget editing.
    Note: The Summary Account Options (GL00.5) subform displays.
  2. Click the Commitments tab. Indicate that you are allowing Budget Edit processing to occur for the summary account.
  3. (Optional) To enable budget editing at the detail account level, return to Chart of Accounts (GL00.1). Select Accounts, next to the account you will enable the budget editing.
    Note:  The Detail Account (GL00.3) subform displays.
  4. Select More next to the detail account that you will enable the budget editing.
    Note:  The Account Information (GL00.4) will display.
  5. Click the Commitments tab. Indicate that you are allowing Budget Edit processing to occur for the detail account. If you leave the Budget Edit field blank, then the system will use the summary account value.
