Assignment and Budget Objects in Central Budgeting

The example above shows how you correctly define an assignment level when doing central budgeting. The arrows show how during posting the system finds the assignment level on its way up in a hierarchy.

If the system does not find a budget object for an assigned element within a funds center of a subhierarchy during posting, the system starts first searches from the assigned commitment item in the superior funds center for a budget object. If this budget object is not an assignment object, the system starts searching from this budget object in the superior funds center for the corresponding assignment object.

Remember that an assignable element in the hierarchy may only find one assignment object on the way up.

For sensible central budgeting the assignment level should be defined relatively high up in the hierarchy.
