The highest level of control is at the system wide level, which is set on the Budget Control (BUDCON) configuration page. All constraints and guidelines in an application appear on this page as it is really a different view of the same data seen on the Budget Control Administration configuration page. Where the administration page is for defining a control, the Budget Control page is for turning on or off a control as well as setting what severities are allowed at other locations.
Only those fields not displayed on the Budget Control Administration control page are listed below.
Default Violation - The value selected in this field will be the level of error issued for the control if no level below system wide is used to set a different level of control. One choice in the pick list for the field is different on BUDCON than the other levels of control application. Not Selected indicates that the control is not used by the application at all. It is recommended that any control you will not use should have this setting. Furthermore, it is recommended that the controls you will use are set to No Action with the actual setting to come from Budget Line Controls (next configuration page discussed).
Allow Reject, Allow Override, Allow Warning, and Allow No Action - These flags have two purposes. The first purpose is to edit lower areas of control application to prevent the choice of a default action or allowed action not available system wide use. When checked, that error level will be in the list of choices at the budget line level, given that choice is not restricted at a lower level.
Include Allotments - Selection of this flag will indicate that the constraint should apply to allotments of a budget line by default, unless the flag with the same name is unchecked at a lower level.
