The following common business tasks can be accomplished using a budget transactions or budget inquiry page.
Once budget structures are defined and items such as budget tracking amount fields and control options have been appropriately configured, the loading of budget lines into CGI Advantage can begin. This initial loading and subsequent maintenance of those budget lines should always be done using a budget transaction. These budget transactions can be loaded in XML file format, using the System Maintenance Utility, or manually created by users online.
To demonstrate many of the features mentioned in the user guide earlier, the following sections given below will use many of the delivered budget structures and pages to provide examples. The examples will not be as detailed as a training manual, but will provide a general overview of steps along with pertinent instructions and helpful hints.
