Threshold behavior setting - Customer Budget
Behavior at exceeded threshold
Select the relevant type of budget calculation to be applied when a set threshold is exceeded:
1. Subtract complete amount from budget - this is the default value. Selecting this setting means no thresholds apply to the budget.
2. Do not subtract complete amount from budget - selecting this option means that thresholds apply. You can specify up to five specific thresholds (per revenue type) or a single overall threshold, by entering amounts in the Threshold amount fields listed below. Please note: if the sum of the revenues of the main order + suborders is larger than the revenue's threshold value(s), the complete revenue line is not subtracted from the Customer Budget, but invoiced separately.
