Budget Status Determination

Use

The initiative's budget status in the Budget column of the Initiative Summary shows whether the initiative is under budget, on budget, or over budget. The colors of the status indicators in the Budget column are determined as follows:

  • If Actual is greater than Budget, then the Budget status indicator for this initiative is red because the initiative is over budget.

  • If Actual is less than Budget, then the Budget status indicator for this initiative is green because the initiative is under budget.

  • If Actual is equal to Budget, then the Budget status indicator for the initiative is yellow because the initiative is on budget.

  • If Actual and Budget both have 0 values (that is, there is no cost associated with this initiative), or if either Actual or Budget is empty, then no Budget status indicator is displayed for the initiative.
