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.
Required User Permissions:
'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Admin tool.
Additional Information:
The ability to create custom types is not supported at this time.
You can use Configurable Fieldsets to set the 'Type' field as 'Required' or 'Optional' to match your company's data entry standards.

Budget change types are available as filters in reports, allowing you to segment your financial data without creating custom data sets.
