The Import Budget Line tab facilitates in identifying the existing budget lines that need to be imported to the budget tab reducing the data entry effort. This is useful when modifying existing budget lines: increasing awarded and setting up new budget lines with minor modifications such as a new Phase or new Program Period. Options are available to default an Action and Event Type when bringing budget lines into the Budget tab.
The Import Budget Link action selects and loads budget lines to the Budget tab based on selection criteria specified on the Import Budget Line tab. The Budget lines are identified by performing a look-up to Budget Structure to Budget Transaction (BSBD) to identify the structure and then the lowest level is identified by performing a look-up to Budget Level where Presence Optional is No. The Budget Update option defaults to Funding Line for Reimbursable Structures and Non-Reimbursable for other structures.
