In Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, Ledger budget is the name of the form and table where budget amounts for ledger accounts are captured.

Overview

Item

Description

Reason for deprecation

The budget functionality in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 was rewritten and extended to include additional functionality, such as budget control.

Replaced by another feature

Yes. Ledger budget has been replaced by budget register entries. Budget register entries enable budget amounts to be entered by using a header/line concept. An organization can perform the following tasks:

  • Determine which dimensions are available for budgeting.

  • Define budget codes that are related to budget types, for an additional audit trail of changes to a budget.

  • Allocate a budget across periods.

  • Allocate a budget across dimensions.

  • Replicate budget amounts.

  • Use a web service for integrations to budget register entries.

  • Use the budget transaction approval workflow.

  • Use the Budget versus actual inquiry and report.

  • Create budget register entries by using Project, Demand, Supply, and Fixed asset budgets.

Note

In AX 2009, a user could also transfer cost accounting budgets to Ledger budget. This is not supported in AX 2012, because the implementation of the new dimension framework in cost accounting does not enable data to flow outside of cost accounting.
