Budget
A budget records the expected values of income and expenses for your business. You can create budgets for specific customers, items, departments, classes, locations, or any combination of these criteria. You can also create budgets for multiple subsidiaries in NetSuite OneWorld. For general information about budgets, see Setting Up a Budget.
In SOAP web services, the budget record is defined in the tranFin (financial) XSD. Note that before updating a row on this record, you must perform a get on the entire record.

The following operations can be used with the budget record.
add | addList | delete | deleteList | get | getList | getSavedSearch | getSelectValue | search | update | updateList | upsert | upsertList

Usage Notes
Custom Segments for the Budget Record
You cannot use CustomFieldList to create custom fields on the budget record, but you can set a custom segment value for a budget record by setting its CustomFieldList property. You cannot create a custom segment, but you can use SOAP web services to add, delete, and update segment values.
You can use CustomJoin for BudgetSearch and BudgetSearchRow, which are both defined in the common XSD.
For details, see Working With Custom Segment Values, CustomFieldLists for Setting Custom Segment Values, and CustomFieldList.
Supported Accounting Periods in the Budget Record
The budget record supports more than 12 accounting periods for add, get, and search operations. If your accounting setup consists of more than 12 accounting periods, you can add, retrieve, and search for up to 24 accounting periods.
