The budget MO counter format must absolutely match a "definition level" equivalent to that of the Folder value.
The same budget code can be defined for several separate companies, the folder being the only common denominator (Counters).

Budget

It is only possible to enter budget MOs if the budget MO generation type is equivalent to the followign values:

  • Manual: the budget can be updated via the budget MO entry.
    On the other hand, budget entry or modification does not generate any budget MOs.
  • Complete: the budget can be updated via budget MO entry.
    The entry or modification of budget lines automatically generates budget MOs.

SEEWARNING Only those budgets that do not display an "operational budget" nature can be used in this case.
