Tips

After a budget plan scenario is sent for approval, the status, as shown on the scenario tab, is automatically set to Under Approval.
When the status of a scenario is Under Approval, the scenario cannot be updated. To make changes to the scenario, the status must be set back to In Planning by selecting the scenario  menu and selecting Plan.
