Budget Entry Name Required for Budget Import from ERP Integration Services

A budget entry name is required when importing budget amounts into Budgetary Control from ERP integration services.

This simplifies reporting and inquiry of Budgetary Control budget entries because the budget entry name is present for all methods used to load budget balances.

Tips And Considerations

These are the opt in defaults for your installation type:

Installation Type Opt In

Upgrade customer Disabled - Budget Entry Name not required

Upgrade customers:

  • When you enable this feature and you are using custom ERP integration to invoke the Import Budget Amounts or Import Budget for Budgetary Control and General Ledger process, ensure you always include a value for the Budget Entry Name parameter in the budget data file.

Considerations for when the Budget Entry Name is required and you are loading a budget using FBDI:

  • The Budget Entry Name parameter value in the Import Budget Amounts and Import Budget for Budgetary Control and General Ledger process must match the value in the budget data file.
  • The Budget Entry Name in the budget data file must be the same in a single process run.  
  • If you want to differentiate your budget lines in a single process run, consider using the Comment field or a descriptive flexfield.
