Enter Decentralized Budget

This procedure is used by budget officers to enter a budget for the next budgeting period using predefined templates. These decentralized budgets can be made for each budget officer, budget number and budget version.

A decentralized budget can be used to create a central budget.

Before you start

A budget with basic data (budget number/budget version) must be defined in ‘Budget. Open’ (BUS100).
Budget templates must be defined. Refer to Enter Budget Template [Procedure].
Budget officers must be entered in ‘Budget Officer. Open’ (BUS035).
Costs must be entered for each resource. More than one cost can be specified for each resource. Each cost consists of the price of the cost, the accounting identity 1 to be used and, if necessary, an accounting curve. The costs for resources are entered in ‘Budg Resource. Connect Cost Components’ (BUS016), which is reached by using option 11=‘Cost component’ in (BUS015).
Period accounting curves must be defined in ‘Period Accounting Curve. Open’ (CRS450). They are used to automatically allocate values to the selected periods.

Follow these steps

Start ‘Budget. Open Decentralized’ (BUS110/B). Check that the panel sequence is set to E1.
Specify a budget officer, budget number and budget version and select option New.
On the E panel, enter a name and description for the new budget.
Press Enter to start ‘Decentralized Budget. Enter Budg Values’ (BUS111/B). The lines displayed on the B panel are the ones included in the budget template connected to the budget officer, and can refer to an accounting ID or a resource. If the line refers to a resource, an estimate of the yearly actual result is also displayed. The estimate is based on the actual outcome from the balance registry and the budgeted values.
Specify the amount you want to budget in the budget line(s) classified as an account line.
Specify the quantity you want to budget in the budget line(s) classified as a resource.
Press Enter and F3.
