Update budget

Only self-funded budget allows updating.

If a lifecycle entity is added in a program or portfolio that adopts top-down budgeting and does not allow adding budget in the lifecycle entity level, you cannot update budget for the lifecycle entity. It can only obtain budget from its program or portfolio.

You can use either the Update Total Budget or the Add Budget Correction button to update the budget of a fiscal year.

Button Description

    Name of the approved budget line. The name can be the same as or different from existing lines. In both cases, the line will become a new entry (row) in the approved budget.

  • Expense Type

  • Fiscal Year

    Fiscal year to which you want to add a budget line.

    Which fiscal years are available for selection is configured by your administrator. For details, see Configure range of fiscal years.

  • New Total Budget

    Enter the new value of the budget for the given fiscal year, and let PPM compute the difference with the existing budget.

    Note: If the parameters BUDGET_IN_WHOLE_DOLLARS and BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL are both set to false, you cannot enter decimals in the Amount field. That is, you can only add or subtract funding by integral multiple of 1000.

Allocate budget

If a program adopts top-down budgeting, the program manager can allocate the program's budget to the program contents.

To allocate program budget to the program contents:

  1. In the Budget Allocations section, select a program content to which you want to allocate budget.

    Note: In PPM 10.0 and earlier versions, the name of this section is Allocations.

  2. Click Allocate Budget.
  3. Complete all required fields in the Allocate Budget window.

    Be aware of the available program budget per fiscal year. You cannot allocate more than the budget limit.

    If you allocate a negative amount to the content, and if the absolute value of the negative amount is greater than the content's total available budget, a message will pop up to tell you what would happen and whether you are allowed to do the allocation.

  4. Click Done.
