Configure Budget Change Types
Background
Budget Change Types are classifications used to categorize fund transfers such as contingencies, allowances, or buyouts within the Budget tool. By assigning a type to each change, companies can better track the nature of budget adjustments, streamline financial reporting, and gain granular visibility into how project funds are being reallocated.
