Maintaining 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 using "budget structure templates". You cannot mix these two entry types.

Budget Objects, Postings Objects, Assignment Objects.Defining Bdgt 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.
Define Budget Structure using Budget Structure Templates
Using BS templates to define budget structure simplifies the procedure. A budget structure groups together commitment items with the same object indicator (budget object and/or posting object). You can assign this template to your funds centers when defining a budget structure. This assignment ensures that, when you are defining the budget structure, the system automatically generates the objects in the relevant funds centers for all the commitment items in the template.
If you are working with assignment objects, you cannot use BS templates.
If you want to create a budget structure using BS templates, no budget objects and posting objects may exist that were created by defining a budget structure using individual objects.
Features
This section provides an overview of the functions and programs that you can use to maintain budget structure using individual objects:
This function checks the consistency of the budget objects in the existing budget structure. The system checks that each budget object has a budget object superior to it.

You can run the BPCARRYM01 program to make a selection of FM account assignments in one fund using a mass selection and then generate or delete budget objects and/or posting objects in the selected FM account assignments.
You execute the program under

You can run the BPCARRY01 program to copy the most recent budget structure to a target year. In doing so, you save yourself from having to maintain BS elements that already exist.
You execute the program under
