Settlements Subbudget

Use this subbudget to create lines of type sum and settlement.

This budget also builds up in a tree structure, but the order and structure do not matter in the way they are summed up on the main budget and any sum budgets above the main budget.

Settlements are summed up on the main budget depending on the budget of the associated main budget and the referenced budget on the settlement lines. All settlements on a main budget are, per definition external settlements, since they represent settlements with other departments. Each settlement on a Settlements subbudget is summed up on the external settlements line (on the main budget) and linked to the specific settlements subbudget, and has the same income/expense setting as the settlement line.

External settlement lines on the sum budgets are summed up using the same concept as the main budgets. An external settlement is a settlement between two departments/main budgets, of which, exactly one of them is somewhere below the sum budget in the budget hierarchy and the other department/budget is not. And again, only the settlements registered on the settlements subbudget referenced from the external settlements line and with the same income/expense setting as the external settlements line are summed up. This means that the external settlements lines do not only sum up settlements created on the associated settlements subbudget, but also settlements registered with other main budgets and against the main budget of the external settlements line.

The internal settlements lines are summed up in almost the same way as external settlements lines, except that it only sums up the lines which are registered by and referring to departments/budgets somewhere below the sum budget in the budget hierarchy.

Subbudget

Subbudgets of this type are of the same kind and structure as the main budget. It can contain lines of type Sum, Manual, and Calculation, and any line on this budget can be referred to from a calculation line on either this subbudget or from a line on the main budget. There is no special functionality linked with this type of subbudget.
