Jobs Budget Validation

Each job has a "Check Against Budget" property (set from MDE Job Maintenance screen) which can be used to prevent data being entered which would take a job over it's budget, or at least display a warning in that case.  There are 3 settings:

No Checkno budget checking is done for this job
Warn if No Budgetif the Job / Activity / Work Centre combination being entered has no budget specified, then display a warning
Enforce Budgetif the Job / Activity / Work Centre combination being entered will exceed it's budget with the data being entered, then prevent the data entry

This validation is applied to the following:

  • Adjustments → Job Adjustment Entry → click on Batch No
  • Disbursements → Disbursement Entry → click on Batch No
  • Purchase (AP Invoices) → AP Invoice Batch Entry → click on Batch No
  • Purchase Orders
  • Plant Issues
  • Stock Issues → Stock Issue Batch Entry 

The Budget Validation for Timesheet entries is further determined by 2 Control Parameters:

  • Daily Timesheet
  • Weekly Timesheet
  • Phone Timesheet
Check Time No Budget
  • No - no check made for no budgets for time, irrespective of the budget check setting on the job
  • By Job - the budget check that is specified on the job is used if there is no budget
  • Disallow - time is always disallowed without a budget, even if the budget check setting on the job is only Warn
Check Time Over Budget
  • No - no check made for over budgets for time, irrespective of the budget check setting on the job
  • By Job - the budget check that is specified on the job is used if there is an over budget
