Finishing the Budgeting Process

Use this information as an administrator to lock in and assign the budget What If model to finish the budgeting process.

1. Lock in your budget What If model.
   1. Navigate to Setup > What If Models.
   2. Select your forecasted budget What If model.
   3. Change the User Access from Edit to View in the All field.
      This change ensures that users make no additional changes to the budget model's forecast.
   4. Select Save to complete the process.
2. Assign your budget What If model.
   Only perform these steps when the application's last processed month is the first month of the fiscal year, for example, January. Assigning the finalized budget What If model too early or too late impacts budgeted data that the home page and Variance reports use.
   1. Navigate to Setup > What If Models.
   2. Select your forecasted budget What If model.
   3. Change the Model Type from What If to Current Budget.
      An Assign Model confirmation message appears.
   4. Select OK to confirm the change.
   5. Select Save to complete the process.
