Defining Control Budget Attributes

Use the Commitment Control Budget Attributes page (KK_BD_ATTRIB_PNL) to select ChartField combinations for which to set budget attributes on the Budget Attributes - Set Options page.

Navigation:

Commitment Control > Define Control Budgets > Budget Attributes > Commitment Control Budget Attributes

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Commitment Control Budget Attributes page.

(Optional) You can use this component to refine budget processing options for a specific business unit and ChartField combination. Assign attributes that override all attributes specified at a higher level. Conversely, any budget whose attributes you do not configure through the Budget Attributes page inherits its attributes from a higher level.

Use the Commitment Control Budget Attributes - Set Options page (KK_BD_ATTRIB_SEC) to set the budget status, begin and end dates, cumulative budgeting parameters, control option, and tolerance percentage for a particular budget (ChartField combination).

Click the Set Options link on the Commitment Control Budget Attributes page.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Set Options page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Select the budget processing attributes that you want.

The options in the Budget Status grid are set according to budget period; all other options are effective-dated.

Cum. Begin Date (cumulative begin date) and End Date become available to define a range of budget periods for cumulative budgeting when you select the Enable Cumulative Budgeting check box on the Budget Definitions - Keys and Translations page.

Select Dflt Tol. (default tolerance) to inherit the tolerance that is defined for the control ChartField value. Use the Begin Date and End Date fields in the Budget Control Options grid to define a valid spending range for a given budget combination.
