Overview
The Budget Plan form allows the user to prepare the budget data, or budget plan records, for a given fiscal year and budget version. Each budget plan record can be distributed by COA Coding Block. Authorized users may also approve entered budget plan records within this form, providing they have been granted access to that function and form in their security profile. The budget planning process can be based on individual budget plan records with manually entered amounts or be linked to previously created cost drivers.
Budget plan is prepared throughout the year as part of the established budget cycle. Generally, the cycle is comprised of various phases, with each consecutive phase allowing managers to refine their plans based on operational results and requirements. Planning may occur as a bulk yearly amount or annual amounts broken down into budget planning periods. Each Budget Plans within same scenario will share Budget Scenario parameters, Budget Plan Structure and Budget Ceiling Information. However each Budget Plans can have its own Budget Line Groups and some configuration.
