Apply Global Increase/Decrease

Use this action to make an overall adjustment to the amounts for a budget (e.g., increasing by a certain percentage or dollar amount for the following year). You can apply the adjustment either to the amounts for all accounts or to the amounts for certain accounts or account groups.

  1. Access the GL Budgeting area.
  2. Change the budgets that display in the list if necessary.
  3. Change the columns that display in the list if necessary.
  1. Highlight the budget in the list.
  2. Do one of the following:
  3. The Apply Global Increase/Decrease window displays. In the Adjust frame, select a radio button to indicate whether you are making adjustments to a specific Type of account, a defined Group of accounts, or a specific GL account #.

  4. In the Adjust By frame, select Percent or Flat Amount from the Type dropdown menu.
  5. Depending on your selection in step 6, enter the Percent or Amount for this increase/decrease. A positive number will increase the current amount's distance from zero (i.e. its absolute value), and a negative number will bring the current amount closer to zero.
    Note: No adjustment will be made to any row whose current value is 0.
  6. Click Finish to apply the adjustment to the budget, or Cancel to close the screen without saving your changes.
