Budget Approved |
Select to approve a budget on this page. You must also enter a date in the Budget Approval Date field. You can approve only one budget for a group ID and budget period start date.
When you approve a budget on this page, the system updates the Budget Approved field on the Create/Approve Group Budget - Budget Requested page. |
The system performs the following checks to ensure that only one budget ID is approved for a single group ID and budget period start date:
When you select either Budget Approved or Salary Plan Approved for any increase with effective date and effective sequence within a group budget, the system will make sure that no other budget ID for the same group has been approved.
When you select either Budget Approved or Salary Plan Approved for any increase with effective date and effective sequence within a group budget, the system will make sure that the increases within the budget that have a previous effective date or sequence have already been approved. This action occurs because each subsequent effective date or sequence budget calculation is performed based on previous budgeted increments.
You can use a budget for a salary increase plan without approving the budget first. However, before you can run a process to load the salary changes to the Job Data records, the following approvals must be completed:
Salary Plan Approved must be selected on the Create/Approve Group Budget - Budget Requested page.
The individual worker increases must be marked Approved on the Summarize and Approve Raises page.
