This activity is used to enter and modify period budget values. All comparisons are made to the period budget in query windows and reports.
Before entering period budget values, you must have entered a budget version.
As a result of this activity, a budget version with period values exists in the company.
Open Budget Period Amount and retrieve the existing budget versions. Enter information on a new period budget by using the New function.
The window is divided into two parts. The budget version to be worked on is displayed in the first part. The period, code string, and budget values are entered in the second part of the window.
The rows entered in Budget Period Amount are of the Period values type. You can also work with values of the Allocated type. If such a value is modified, the type will automatically be changed to Period values.
The Fixed Code String operation enables you to specify a code string with permanent code part values. The fixed code string is default when new budget values are to be entered. The fixed code string is active until you enter a new one, delete one, or terminate the work session. This option is available in both Budget Year Amount and Budget Period Amount.
