Understanding Original Budgets
You enter budgets using the P510121 program, which you access by selecting either the Budget Original or Unit Rate Budget Entry menu option. The menu options are set up for different versions of the same program (P510121). The version associated with the Original Budget program displays the Original Units and Original Amount fields. The version associated with the Unit Rate Budget Entry program displays the Original Units, Unit Cost, and Original Amount fields. You can either enter the number of units and the rate or the number of units and the amount; the system automatically calculates values for the fields that you do not complete.
Use the Original Budget / Account Master Sequence form to enter or change original budget information. The system updates the BORG (Budget Original) field in the Account Balances table (F0902) with the amount and number of units that you enter for the ledger type specified in the fields. For example, if the ledger type is JA and you enter a budget amount of 1000 and a number of units as 50, then the system updates the BORG field for the JA ledger type with 1000 and updates the BORG field for the JU ledger type with 50.
If you change the original budget information, the system updates the BORG and AN01 fields appropriately; the system does not generate an audit trail record of changes to the original budget. The system considers any budget information to be original budget information until you enter a budget revision.
Because you access the budget entry form from the Work with Job Master form, you must access the processing options for P510121 from the Application Versions Interactive program (P983051). The processing options that you access from the menu are for the Job Cost Master Revisions program (P51006) only.
