Note

As well as the assigned and the distributable budget, the system displays the element with budget (which is on a higher level in the project structure) in the Controlling element column for each WBS element without budget. The system posts assigned funds from the WBS element and all lower-level WBS elements (that do not have any budget) to the controlling element.

The current assigned and distributable values are displayed after the budget is checked.
