Budget Value Display 
Use
As well as the controlling area currency, it is also possible to display the budget values in the views in the object and transaction currencies. You can use the View In box to select the currency in which the total and annual budget values are to be displayed. This list box is only displayed in the element or annual overview if values are available in another currency, or if one of the following occurs:
- At least one of the objects to be budgeted (order or WBS element) has an object currency that is different to the controlling area currency
- The Availability Control in Object Currency indicator is set in the budget profile for the order or project
- The budgeting currency is the (freely definable) transaction currency and the currency field is not blank on the initial screen for budgeting
Features
Some values can be displayed only in the controlling area and/or object currencies.
Distributed Value
The total of the current budget (see below) for a WBS element or lower-level WBS elements. The distributed values can be displayed only in the controlling area and object currencies.
Distributable value
This is the difference between the current budget and distributed value. The distributable values can be displayed only in the controlling area and object currencies.
Assigned value
Total of commitment and actual postings. The assigned value is only displayed if availability control is active. If availability control checks in the controlling area currency, the assigned value is only displayed in the controlling area currency, and if availability control checks in the object currency, the assigned value is only displayed in the object currency.
Current Budget
Original budget that was changed by budget updates (supplements, returns, and transfers).
Release
Based on the released budget from the current budget
Cumulated value
Total of the annual budgets. The system determines the cumulated value always using only the values in the currency that you are currently using for processing the budget.
Remaining value
Difference between overall budget and cumulated. The system determines the remaining value always using only the values in the currency that you are currently using for processing the budget.
Previous year
The system determines the values from the previous year always using only the values in the currency that you are currently using for processing the budget.

Note that after budget updates are made by supplements, returns, and transfers, the displayed values (such as the distributed value) are always based on the current budget, not the original budget.
