Settlements Sub-Budget

Use the Settlements sub-budget to create lines of the type sum and settlement.

Use this sub-budget to create lines of type sum and settlement. This budget also builds up in a tree structure, but the order and structure do not affect the way in which 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 by definition external settlements because they represent settlements with other departments. Each settlement on a Settlements sub-budget is summed up on the external settlements line (on the main budget) and linked to the specific settlements sub-budget, 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. Again, only the settlements that are registered on the settlements sub-budget that is 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 that are created on the associated settlements sub-budget, but also settlements that are 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 that are registered by and refer to departments/budgets somewhere below the sum budget in the budget hierarchy.
