Create Budget Entry from Revenue Process

The Create Budget Entry from Revenue process automates the budget entry creation from revenue for expense control budgets.

This table lists the process parameters:
Parameter Description
Ledger The ledger of the control budgets to add budget from revenue.
Accounting Period
The accounting period used to derive the year to date revenue balance.
Note: Ifrevenue estimate is designated as a maximum funding limit or minimum revenue threshold, the entire year’s revenue estimate is derived.
Budget Usage Indicates if budget is updated in both Budgetary Control and General Ledger or only budgetary control.
Budget Entry Classification
Indicates if budget is initial budget or a budget revision.
Note: Budget revision updates the control budget’s budget adjustment balance.
Budget Scenario The expense budget scenario to update when the Budget Usage selected is Budgetary Control and General Ledger.
The Create Budget Entry process considers control budgets with these criteria:
  • Allow funding for revenue is enabled for the control budget
  • Revenue funding rules are enabled for the control budget
  • Ledger of the control budget matches the ledger selected
  • Period range of the control budget includes the last day of the accounting period selected

It’s recommended to schedule the Create Budget Entry from Revenue process on a periodic basis for all ledgers to ensure the budget balance includes up to date revenue amounts.

Budget Entry

A budget entry is created for a revenue funding rule when the following conditions are met:
  • the revenue balance is greater than the minimum revenue threshold.
  • the revenue balance has changed since the last time the Create Budget Entry from Revenue process was run.
  • the maximum funding limit hasn't been met.
    Note: Only GL balances for account combinations designated as revenue are considered by the process.

Budget Entry from Revenue Example

This table shows the budget entry created for a specified revenue balance when revenue funding rules are defined with different minimum threshold and maximum funding limit values. The examples assume the Create Budget Entry from Revenue process is run for the first time.
Budget Entries Created
Minimum Threshold Maximum Funding Limit Revenue Balance 5,000 Revenue Balance 27,000 Revenue Balance 53,000 Revenue Balance 68,000
No minimum Unlimited 5,000 27,000 53,000 68,000
No minimum 50,000 5,000 27,000 50,000 50,000
12,000 Unlimited No budget entry 15,000 41,000 56,000
12,000 50,000 No budget entry 15,000 41,000 50,000
Note: Only the revenue balance over the minimum threshold is added to the expense budget.
The budget entry includes:
  • The request submission process id in the Justification field. This id can be used to rerun the Expense Budget Entry from Revenue Report.
  • The name of the revenue rule in the Comment field of the budget entry line.
    Note: The budget period of the budget entry is derived from the last day of the accounting period selected in the process.
