Deducting amounts from budgets via orders
• By linking an order to a cost group and a WBS item, it is possible to deduct order costs from a budget. The budgets must be in the Open status in order to write off money. The way orders influence budgets depends on the status of the order and on the type of costs: estimates or actual costs.
• Estimates are written off as an estimated budget as long as the order is Not accepted yet.
• Estimates are written off as a committed budget as soon as the order is in the Accepted status.
One exception: The actual costs of this order will be subtracted, so only the sum of total estimated costs – total actual costs will be booked as committed costs. If your actual costs exceed the estimated costs, the committed costs will remain zero.
Actual costs are always deducted as paid costs.
Actual costs are always deducted as paid costs.
