AC21.1 - Life Only Budget Change Order


Use Life Only Budget Change Order (AC21.1) to define and maintain budget
change orders for life only budgets. In Project Accounting, there are
two ways to change budgets: budget form actions and budget change orders.
Budget form actions change and update budgets as soon as they are entered,
but they provide no audit trail. Change orders require an Add and Release
action and provide an audit trail.


**More Information

Unless a spread code exists, budget adjustments made with change orders
spread evenly over the period, year, or life total specified. If you change
the annual budget, the program spreads the new budget to the periods. The
system divides the adjustment amount by the number of periods specified. The
resulting per-period adjustment determines the amount of the change for each
period and year in the period budget and annual budget. The changes are added
to or subtracted from the appropriate years, periods, or life-to-date of the
budget, and the total change amount is added to the total budget amount. If
a spread code exists, the program uses that.
You must maintain a change order on the same form where you defined
it originally. For example, you cannot define a change order on AC21.2 and
edit it on AC21.3. If you try to do so, an error message displays.
If you define values on the Change Amount line, the program calculates
the new budget amount, rate, and units vertically as Original Budget + Change
Amount. If you define values on the New Budget line, the program uses those
and calculates the Change Amount line as New Budget - Original Budget.
If the New Budget line has two values, the program calculates the third
using the formula: Amount = Rate * Units. If the New Budget has all three
values, the program recalculates the amount as Rate * Units and rounds the
amount and units.
If you want to edit a change order that has already been approved, you
must first unapprove it, using AC22.1 (Change Order Approval). Then you can
edit it.

form actions change and update budgets as soon as they are entered, but they

form actions change and update budgets as soon as they are entered, but they

actions change and update budgets as soon as they are entered; but they
