Job Budget Lines Sub-Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Job Budget Lines sub-tab.

Field Description
Description Enter text for a description of the time budget line.
External Description Enter text to be transferred to job quotes and used instead of the internal description on the time budget line.
Line Type Select the line type: Sum/Text or Time.
  • Sum/Text — If you select this value, you can use the current line as a text line, adding a line of text to the budget, or as a sum line. A sum line functions as grouping level when you use a work breakdown structure. In both cases, you cannot specify a reference to an activity or task on the line, and you cannot mark the line as a milestone.
  • Time — If you select this value, Maconomy uses the current line to specify a time activity. The activity number changes to the activity that the Default Time Activity job parameter attribute of the Budgeting type specifies.
Remarks 1 Enter any additional information as remarks.
Task Enter the task that is related to the time budget line. You cannot enter a task that overwrites the activity with an amount activity.
