| # Controllo budget Controllo budget is an integrated information system that tracks and controls budget-related business transactions. Financial health is continuously monitored by capturing sources and uses of budgets as they are committed and realized. Real-time budget checking prevents unauthorized deficits. Controllo budget is designed to integrate accounting and budgeting functions into underlying business processes. Accounting distributions are retrieved from the appropriate policy levels, such as requisition entities, vendors, or purchased commodities. The relationship between accounting and budgeted funds is determined through roll-up structures. Budget control policy Budget checking must be executed on documents, such as purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and invoices. The Budget Control Policy indicates if a budget must be checked for a specific document type or business object. Based on a Budget Control Policy parameter, the budget check must be executed for a line when a document line entry is saved or when each line in the document is approved. Budget accounts A budget is constructed in a hierarchy by using budget summary levels (nodes and levels). Each level consists of budget accounts and their budget amounts. A combination of a budget account and a budget amount is also referred to as a bucket. At the lowest level of the budget hierarchy, a budget account is linked to multiple combinations of ledger accounts and dimensions. The determination of the lowest level depends on the level of budget control required. The relationship between budget accounts and Contabilità generale is maintained in distribution tables. Budget structure Budget structure is the hierarchy that contains all roll-up structures and budget accounts. A budget structure has a minimum of five roll-up structures or summary levels. On each summary level a budget can be attached to a budget account. A budgetary roll-up structure defines the budget accounts and dimensions to which detail accounts used by procurement, receivable, and ledger documents roll up. Budget amounts can be recorded at any level in the budgetary roll-up structure and for multiple branches within the same structure. They can be controlled by period or on an annual basis. The budget currency can be one of the home currencies. A budget account does not have to be linked to the next higher level; it can also be linked directly to the budget structure. Receive exception notifications If an exception occurs, a notification is sent to the all registered users of the budget account. To modify the account, users must have the proper authorization. Pannello di controllo Responsabile budget - Panoramica Budget Manager dashboard provides a complete overview of the budget accounts of a budget.

Any transfer of the budget, for example, a transfer budget from one budget pool to another, requires an audit trail. You must specify a reason code for the budget transfer. Budget control adjustments A budget control adjustment is used to retroactively adjust budget transactions which can be an adjustment to a budget balance such as the Impegno or Impegno in ordine balance . A budget control adjustment is also used to create opening balances and reservation of budget for a future transaction. Budget amendments Although you cannot update a confirmed budget directly, amendments enable subsequent budgetary updates in a controlled way. All budget amendments must be recorded by a budget transaction. Budget amendments are one-sided transactions that increase or decrease budgets and therefore, the available budget. After a budget is locked, users must specify a change or reason code to justify the budget. Any amendment of the budget requires an audit trail.
