Opportunity Budgets Tab

Opportunity Island

Field	Description
Opportunity No.	This field shows the number of the current opportunity.

Currency	In this field, you can select the currency in which the figures in the opportunity budget are to be displayed and entered. If you change the currency after entering budget figures, the figures will be converted automatically. Please note that amounts are rounded when converted into a new currency. This means that changing the currency and subsequently returning to the original currency may cause the amounts to differ slightly from the original ones.
Budget Created	This field shows whether a budget has been created for the current opportunity. It is only possible to enter information in the table part if a budget has been created. Budgets are created using the “Create Budget” action.

Template Job Island

Field	Description
Template Job No.	In this field, you can select a template job. When you select a template job, you can preview the budget of the job in question to determine whether the budget of the template job matches the opportunity in question. Once you have selected a template job and pressed Return, you can view the different budgets of the template job using the “Show Budget” field in the Budget Type island. Maconomy suggests the budget type marked as the standard opportunity budget type (see “Job Budget Types” in the Set-Up module). If no budget type is marked as standard opportunity budget type, the baseline budget of the template job is suggested. When you select the “Create Budget” action, the budgets of all budget types for the template job are copied to the new opportunity budget. However, until the action is selected, the window shows budgets as a preview only.
Name	This field shows the name of the job specified in the “Template Job No.” field above.
