Budgeting

These processing options specify budgeting information.

1. Budget Hold Code

Specify the hold code that the system uses for budget holds.

After you enter a hold code, the system activates the budget-checking process. Budget checking ensures that when a detail line exceeds the budget for an account, the system places the entire order on hold.

2. Budget Ledger Type

Specify the ledger type that contains the budgets.

If you specify a budget ledger type, the system retrieves only that budget ledger type. If you leave this processing option blank, the system retrieves all budget ledger types that were specified in the Ledger Type Master Setup program (P0025) and that are contained in the Ledger Type Master table (F0025).

3. Level of Detail

Specify the value (3 through 9) for the level of detail that the system uses during the budget checking process. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses a default value of 9.

You can use this processing option with the processing option for level of detail accumulation.

4. Budget Total Method

Specify the method by which the system calculates the budget. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses the job cost budget calculation method. Values are:

Blank: The system uses the job cost budget calculation method.

1: The system uses the job cost budget calculation method:

Original budget + period amounts for the current year + previous year postings.

2: The system uses the standard financial budget calculation method:

Sum of period amounts for the current year.

3:The system uses the standard financial spread calculation method:

Original budget + period amounts for the current year.

5. Period Accumulation Method

Indicate the time period that the system uses when accumulating the budget. Values are:

Blank: Use the total annual budget to accumulate the budget.

1: Accumulate the budget through the current period.

6. Tolerance Percentage

Specify the percentage by which the detail line amount can exceed the budget before the system places the order on budget hold.

7. Hold Warning

Specify whether the system displays a warning message about detail line amounts that exceed the budget. Values are:

Blank: The system does not display a warning, but it does place the order on hold.

1: The system displays a warning and places the order on hold.

2: The system displays a warning, but it does not place the order on hold.

8. Budget Accumulation Level of Detail

Specify whether the system uses the Level of Detail processing option value (under the Budgeting tab) to accumulate budget amounts. Values are:

Blank: The system determines the budget amount from the account entered in the purchase order detail line.

1: The system determines the budget checking account by considering the values in the purchase order detail account and the Level of Detail processing option. The system then calculates the budget amount by accumulating the budget amounts of all the child accounts of the budget checking account.

9. Exclude Subledger/Type

Specify whether the system excludes the subledger and subledger type when validating the budget information. Values are:

Blank: The system includes only those accounts that have a subledger and a subledger type specified in the purchase order detail.

1:The system does not consider the subledger and subledger type. All of the accounts (with and without a subledger and a subledger type) are considered for budget checking.

10. Job Cost Account Sequence

Specify the job cost account sequence that the system uses for budgeting. Values are:

Blank: The system uses the standard account sequence (for example, cost center, object, and subsidiary).

1: The system uses the job cost sequence (for example, job, cost code, and cost type).

11. Include Taxes

Specify whether to include taxes for taxable lines in budget calculations. Values are:

Blank: Do not include taxes.

1: Include taxes.

12. Include Prior Year Balance Forward Amount
