Use

Within the budgeting transactions, you can edit a 50-character short text and a corresponding long text for the budget values so as to store explanations regarding the budget values or changes to them. The budget texts are assigned to a totals record. So you can enter budget texts for combinations of the following:

  • Funds center

  • Commitment item

  • Fund

  • Fiscal year

  • Budget transaction (original budget, supplement, return, transfer)

This means you can enter different tests per activity, budget category, and fiscal year in an FM accounts assignment.

Prerequisites

You can only edit budget texts in budget transactions running within hierarchy maintenance.

Features

  • Enter budget texts

  • Display budget texts

  • Change/delete budget texts

You can only change the budget text entered last for an FM account assignment. Other texts can only be displayed.

If you are in the change or display modes for a long text, you can display the following administrative information:

  • When the text was created

  • Who created it

  • When it was changed

  • Who changed it.
