The budget is built on:

  • a chart of accounts that must be tracked in analytical mode,
  • one to nine analytical dimension types.

It is possible to specify, for the chart of accounts and for each analytical dimension type, a pyramid and level of budget allocation.

In the event pyramids are linked, budgets are entered for an account group belonging to the accounts pyramid and/or a dimension group belonging to the dimension pyramid.

Data not displayed in case of a budget defined on a pyramid of accounts and/or dimensions

When the budget is defined for an accounts pyramid and/or dimension pyramid and the budget entry transaction is set to display completed and/or pre-committed and/or committed data, these data are not displayed (expressed in amounts and/or quantities). This is displayed only when the budget is entered directly on the accounts and dimensions.

Modifying the data of a budget setup

You can modify some of the fundamental characteristics of an existing budget setup (addition/change/deletion of a dimension type, change of plan, change of company/site definition level, change of pyramid or pyramid level etc.). However, you must first make sure that this budget has not been subject to any transaction since the previously entered data will no longer be consistent with the new budget setup.

Error messages

In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

The dimension types flagged with Entity or Envelope are forbidden on budgets that are not flagged with Operating budget.
