Creating and modifying a budget is critical for a project. A specific budget will show the total cost of the combined projects. You can add multiple projects to one budget or spread projects over multiple budgets. Budgets are created by a user with Financial Manager or Financial Manager Administration Permission.
You must have a budget associated with a project before you submit for approval.
Creating a Budget
