  • Unmark the box to perform no re-alignment.

Budget Type column...

  • The first four rows being displayed may be changed at any time by double-clicking on a blue Budget Type in order to select a different Budget Type from the list button.

  • Note that when the prior fiscal year is NOT closed, see GL Parameters Fiscal Calendar, it changes the years referenced by the Budget Type codes. In that case "Next" refers to the current fiscal year, "Current" refers to the prior fiscal year, and "Prior" refers to the fiscal year prior to the prior fiscal year.​

Data for the current fiscal year and previous five fiscal years is displayed at the bottom of the grid. The data displayed in these rows is based on the Budget Types selected for the first four rows, i.e. Actual Amounts, Actual Units, Budget Amounts and/or Budget Units.
