Assigning Account Ranges to a Budget Organization

This section describes the functionality available through the Account Ranges window.

To assign a range of accounts to a budget organization:

  1. Navigate to the Define Budget Organization window.

    Caution: If your Budget Organization has been secured using definition access sets, you must have Modify access to assign accounts.

  3. Choose Ranges.

  4. Enter a Line number and an account Low and High for each range you want to assign to your budget organization. The ranges cannot overlap other account ranges with the same currency for any budget organization ledger.

  5. Select the budget entry Type for the account range:

    Entered: You enter budget amounts, enter budget journals, upload budgets, create MassBudget journals, or transfer budget amounts. Use this entry type if you want to use budgetary control.

    Calculated: You use budget formulas or MassBudget journals to enter budget amounts. You cannot use this entry type if you are using budgetary control.

  6. Enter the Currency for each account range. For accounts with a budget entry type of Calculated, you must enter either the ledger's currency or STAT.

    To enter only statistical budget amounts for the account range, enter STAT

    None Do not perform budgetary control for the Accounting Flexfields in the range.

  7. You can review, add, or temporarily delete individual accounts assigned to your budget organization by choosing Range Assignments.

  8. Save your work. General Ledger launches a concurrent program to assign all the existing accounts within the designated ranges to the budget organization. You can review the Status of each range.

    Adding: The concurrent request to add accounts from a range is pending.
