Entry Types for the Budget Structure 
Entry Types for the Budget Structure
Use
For each budget structure (for each fund with overall values and, in the case of funds with annual values, for each year as well), you must decide whether you want to define the budget structure by defining "individual objects" or via "group assignments". You cannot mix these two entry types.
Features
Defining Budget Structures Using Individual Objects
When defining individual objects, you must edit the whole funds center and commitment item hierarchy and flag a combination of funds center and commitment item as budget objects or posting objects.
Defining Budget Structures Using Group Assignment
When defining via group assignment, you assign commitment item groups to be defined beforehand to the funds centers. A commitment item group combines commitment items with the same object indicator (budget object/posting object). By means of the assignment, the system automatically defines the objects during generating for all commitment items contained in the commitment item group in the respective funds center.
If you want to create a budget structure via group assignment, no budget objects and posting objects may exist, which were created by defining a budget structure via individual objects.
