Budget Value Display 
Use
In addition to overall and annual budget values, you can see other budget values by choosing Views: If you are using different currencies for budgeting, the system displays the budget values in the currency of each view.
Features
Some values can be displayed only in the controlling area or object currencies.
Distributed Value
The total of the current budget (see below) for each lower-level WBS element. The distributed values can be displayed only in the controlling area or 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 or object currencies.
Assigned value
Total of commitment and actual postings. This can be displayed when availability control is active. The availability control checks new postings against the available budget regardless of the currency used to enter the budget items. The availability control checks in the controlling area currency, which is why the system displays the assigned value in the controlling area currency only.
Current Budget
Original budget that was changed by budget updates (supplements, returns, transfers). The current budget can be displayed only in the controlling area or object currencies.
Entered in transaction currency
(only for budgeting with freely chosen currencies)
Total of the budget values entered in each currency. The system does not include amounts that were entered in a different currency. This view may only display some of the values from the Current Budget view.
Release
Based on the released budget from the current budget. The system checks releases using the controlling area currency. Therefore, you can display releases in the controlling area only.
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.
Plan total
The system always displays the Plan total in the controlling area currency.
The Plan total consists of the following |
| |
Structure planning value (independent of cost element) |
+ |
Cost element planning value |
+ |
Unit costing value |
+ |
Value of the additive orders for the project, meaning the orders assigned to this and all lower-level WBS elements.
( = Overall planning value that is cost element independent + Value of cost element planning + Unit costing values) |
+ |
Value of the additive networks and network activities that are assigned to this and all lower-level WBS elements.
( = Plan costs of the networks or activities) |
= |
Plan total |
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.
You specify the values displayed next to the budget value in the initial screen for budgeting by determining them in the budget profile, using the View parameter.
Activities
Choose Settings -> Scaling factor to select the currency units for displaying the budget values in 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000 or millions (**0 to **6) and to set the number of decimal places.
