Budget types are different under different budgeting strategy.

Updating budget

Only self-funded budget allows updating.

If a lifecycle entity is added in a program that adopts top-budgeting and does not allow adding budget in the lifecycle entity level, you cannot update budget for the lifecycle entity. It can only obtain budget from its program.

You can use either the Update Total Budget or the Add Budget Correction button to update the budget of a fiscal year.

Button Description

Button	Description
Update Total Budget	Name Name of the approved budget line. The name can be the same as or different from existing lines. In both cases, the line will become a new entry (row) in the approved budget. Expense Type Appears only if cost capitalization is enabled. For details, see Cost Capitalization. Fiscal Year Fiscal year to which you want to add a budget line. Which fiscal years are available for selection is configured by your administrator. For details, see Configuring Range of Fiscal Years. New Total Budget Enter the new value of the budget for the given fiscal year, and let PPM compute the difference with the existing budget. Note: If the parameters `BUDGET_IN_WHOLE_DOLLARS` and `BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL` are both set to `false`, you cannot enter decimals in the Amount field. That is, you can only add or subtract funding by integral multiple of 1000. For details, see Configuring Numeric Display. Correction Amount PPM computes the difference with the current total budget.
Add Budget Correction	Name Same as in the Update Total Budget window. Expense Type Same as in the Update Total Budget window. Fiscal Year Same as in the Update Total Budget window. Correction Amount Amount to add to or subtract from the approved budget for the selected fiscal year. Enter a positive value to add or a negative value to subtract. Note: If the parameters `BUDGET_IN_WHOLE_DOLLARS` and `BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL` are both set to `false`, you cannot enter decimals in the Amount field. That is, you can only add or subtract funding by integral multiple of 1000. For details, see Configuring Numeric Display. Total Amount PPM computes the new total budget of the fiscal year based on the Correction Amount value.

If a program adopts top-down budgeting, the program manager can allocate the program's budget to the program contents.

To allocate program budget to the program contents:

In the Allocations section, select a program content to which you want to allocate budget.
Click Allocate Budget.
Complete all required fields in the Allocate Budget window.

Be aware of the available program budget per fiscal year. You cannot allocate more than the budget limit.

Click Done.
