Processing Budget Entry Documents

Use

The following is a description of the processing functions Post – Create According to Reference – Prepost – Hold – Reverse which are available for entry documents in the budgeting workbench (BWB).

You can find information on the processes available for creating entry documents under Budgeting Process.

Note Note

Enter always positive numeric values as budget in the budgeting workbench. The system automatically determines the appropriate plus/minus sign of an amount using the process and processing function. However, the entry of negative budget values is not prevented by default. If you do not want to allow the entry of negative budget values, you must define an appropriate check rule in the consistency check.
