The Budget Maintenance window is used to create or modify monthly budget amounts for an
account. Eight methods are provided under the Budget Method portion of the window. In
addition, you can simply click the Budget Amount you want to adjust, and change it by direct
entry.
Explanations for the eight budget methods follow:
Fixed amount
When you select this option, a Fixed Amount field appears. You enter an amount which the
system enters in (or adds to) the Budget Amount fields for each period.
Spread amount
When you select this option, a Spread Amount field appears. You enter an amount which the
system distributes evenly across the Budget Amount fields for each period. If the amount
does not divide up evenly, the remainder is added into the last period.
Base, Percent Increase
Enter a base amount and an incremental (or decremental) percentage. The base amount will
be entered for the first fiscal period. The amount for other periods will be calculated based on
the previous period’s amount multiplied by the percent increase or decrease.
Base, Amount Increase
Enter a base amount and an incremental (or decremental) amount. The base amount will be
entered for the first period. The amount for other periods will be calculated based on the
previous period’s amount plus the amount increase or decrease entered.
