Budget Control Workspace

Use this workspace to compare budget figures with committed and actual figures.

The budgeted amounts are the sum of budget entries within the given range of selection criteria. Committed amounts are future expenses that you entered in purchase orders in the A/P module. Actual amounts are entries that you posted in the G/L module. The deviations between budgeted and actual amounts are stated in percentages.

By specifying a budget model, a price year, reporting currency, and a range of selection criteria, you can specify the budget control at different detail levels. Note that the Budget Control island only displays figures if you select the Get Data option in the Selection Criteria island.
