In this screen you can register and change Contract Budgets. Open Form
A contract budget is a specification of the total available budget for a cost type. You can allocate different budgets to different contracts within a cost category and in this way you will be able, as early as possible, to examine budget exceeding.
Contract budgets can only be registered for cost types from the master roll up category ‘Costs’. You can't use contract budgets for ‘Revenues’ and ‘Results’.
For example: you have a budget of EUR 500,000 for the purchase of five to be demolished homes. Per home you have created a contract in the cost category ‘Purchase houses’, with for each home a contract budget of EUR 100.000. After the negotiations with the first resident you know that you need to pay EUR 120,000 for this house. Therefore, you will determine an order of EUR 120,000 already. Although negotiations with the other residents have not been completed, you can already see a budget exceeding of EUR 20,000.
