Note

This topic includes information about financial budgets. For information about budgets for projects, see About project budgets and forecasts.

On the Budget register entry FastTab, you can enter information, such as the budget model and budget code, for the whole budget register entry. In the Budget account entries grid, you can enter information about the budget amounts for specific financial dimension values for each budget account entry.

You can edit and delete budget register entries that have a status of Draft, but not if the status is Completed. If you use budget control and it is turned on, the budget register entries that you process can be included in the calculation of the available budget balance. For more information, see Set up budget control.

Some budget register entries require approval before you can update budget balances. If the Workflow field in the Budget codes form has a value for the selected budget code, a yellow information bar appears at the top of the Budget register entry form after you save the information. This information bar might be displayed or hidden, depending on whether you selected a field in the header or on a line. You can click the View workflow instructions icon on the information bar to view any instructions that were included when the workflow was set up. You might see a Submit or Actions button, depending on whether you can submit the budget register entry or are a user who must take the next action.
