Budget Allocation at Central and Local Level

In local budgeting, the budget is distributed to subordinate funds centers through top commitment items only.
The available budget is then distributed to the subordinate commitment items within a funds center.

In central budgeting, the budget is apportioned within superior funds centers, from top commitment items to subordinate ones.
In the next step, subordinate funds centers receive their budgets at subordinate commitment item level. The top commitment items in subordinate funds centers cannot be budgeted.
