Budget Setup

Budget > Maintenance > Budget

WorkPlace Budget is an Add-on module that allows you to establish budgets by period date range and track committed amounts throughout the entire Requisition, Check Request, Travel and Expense processes.  Multiple Budget periods can be defined for each Budget.  Budgets can be configured as strictly enforced or allowed to exceed.  Create a filter template to default, require and/or restrict Budget usage.  Additionally, rules can be established based on Budgets to define approval routing.
