Top-Down Budget Assignment 

Use

In top-down budget assignment, you can display the available budget of a budget structure element and distribute this among the lower-level budget structure elements.

You define how much budget is required by specifying an original budget (e.g. $110,000.00)

 

You generate HR budget structure elements in Funds Management, and transfer these to HR Funds and Position Management. The budget for the budget structure elements you generate is defined in Funds Management. Before you assign budgets to lower-level personnel expenditure budget structure elements, you can display how much of the budget you can still assign without exceeding the overall budget.

By assigning budgets to budget structure elements, you can finance the persons and positions in your organizational structure. You do this in the processes Financing and Budget Allocation.

Features

The system takes the budgets already assigned, and summarizes these at various levels of the budget hierarchy. It also shows you how much funding can still be assigned to the budget structure element.
