Budget lines
The budget line creation can be carried out based on two accesses:
- From the fiscal year budget, right click used to go to the budget line creation,
- Via the menu specific to budget lines.
The fiscal year budget is divided in budget lines. Each budget line has a budget account and a recipient entity, consumer of the budget.
A uniqueness control forbids the creation of two identical budget lines based on these criteria: Envelope, Budget, Recipient Entity, Budget account.
The budget lines's approval authorizes the entry of expenses: Purchase requests, invoices orders.
The budget lines follow the managing rules described in the envelope managing concerning :
- "Off-budget" managing,
- Approval process,
- Overflow control,
- Review process
