Mass Create/Recommit Budgets/Outlooks enables you to apply three separate budget processes, to all or a range of organizations at once, instead of singly to each one.
Depending on query options, you can:
Create outlooks from Approved budgets/outlooks.
Commit Working status budgets and update the statuses to Incomplete.
Update Incomplete/Complete budgets/outlooks with any global changes (for example, modifications to PTO setup or the default hourly rate) made in Organization Budget Cycle Initialization if:
The Org Budget Revenue Calculation method on the Organization tab of Configuration Settings is set to Org Revenue Calculation. See your System Administrator for questions regarding this setting, which is configured during initial system setup and should not be changed.
Use the fields in this section to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.
You can save query parameters for later reuse or for running the process as a scheduled job.
Enter a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen.
When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID.
You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.
Enter a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.
