Method A (Account: Forced)

You assign method A to header accounts to project final values when you want the revised budget amounts to equal actual amounts for all detail accounts that share the same cost code as the header.

• Assign to header accounts.

• The system calculates PC using the formula AA / HA * 100.

• The system updates RBLA and RBLU to equal AA and AU, respectively, for detail accounts.

  For example, if the actual amount is 5,000 and the revised budget amount is 6,000 for the header account, the system updates the revised budget to equal 5,000 and generates a record in table F0902 to the IA ledger for –1,000.

  The system updates the IA and IU ledgers with the change to the revised budget amounts that the system uses to make AA equal to RBLA and AU equal to RBLU. By updating the IA and IU ledgers, the system provides an audit trail of the changes made to the budget.
