## Update budget

This section describes how to update budget for a lifecycle entity and program.

### Overview

You can only update self-funded budget.

- If a lifecycle entity is added in one or more programs or portfolios, when any of the programs or portfolios adopt top-down budgeting strategy but does not allow adding budget in the lifecycle entity level, you cannot update budget for the lifecycle entity.
- If a program is added in one or more portfolios, when any of the portfolios adopt top-down budgeting strategy but does not allow adding budget in the portfolio content level, you cannot update budget for the program.

### Update budget

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

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 Configure 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 BUDGET_IN_WHOLE_DOLLARS and BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL parameters 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 Configure numeric display. Correction Amount. PPM computes the difference with the current total budget.
Add Budget Correction | Name. Name of the approved budget line. The name can be the same as or different from existing lines.

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 BUDGET_IN_WHOLE_DOLLARS and BUDGET_IN_THOUSAND_SHOW_DECIMAL parameters 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 Configure numeric display. Total Amount. PPM computes the new total budget of the fiscal year based on the Correction Amount value.

## Allocate budget

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 program contents:

1. In the Budget Allocations section, select a program content to which you want to allocate budget.

2. Click Allocate Budget.

3. 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.

   If you allocate a negative amount to the content, and if the absolute value of the negative amount is greater than the content's total available budget, a message will pop up to tell you what would happen and whether you are allowed to do the allocation.

4. Click Done.
