Interactively During Budget Entry

As you enter annual budget amounts, you can have the system spread the amounts to period amounts based on the budget pattern code for each account.

Spreading amounts during budget entry allows you to:

• Vary the results by making revisions without exiting the budget entry program.

• Change the rounding increment and balancing methods that are specified in the processing options.

• Change the annual amounts for the same cycle or a different cycle.

• Recalculate spread amounts as many times as necessary.

Note: If you enter a budget pattern code of DNS, you must manually enter the amounts in each of the Period fields on the Budget by Business Unit or Budget by Account form. The system accumulates the period amounts and displays the annual total for the account.
