Load Revenue Iteration

Use this option to copy iteration data into the revenue budget worksheet at any of the three standard approval levels. You select which ledger accounts are updated. The system updates the Base and New amounts for the standard approval level you pick.

• After you load iteration data, you can view the updated ledger accounts using the Display Budget option.

• When you load iteration data, the system overwrites the current budget amounts in the revenue worksheet for the selected ledger accounts at the approval level you chose. This happens even if the ledger account is frozen at the specified level.

• If you want to work with iteration data without loading into the live revenue budget worksheet, you can use the Edit Iteration option.

• If you need to load iteration data for ledger accounts that have not been saved in the live revenue worksheet, use the Clear Iteration item on the ribbon bar as described in this section.

Menu Path:  Budget Preparation > Entry & Processing > Budget Preparation > Budget Administrator > click Load Iteration in the Budget Administrator center's Revenue section

After you select the ledger accounts and the standard approval level where the iteration data will load, the system checks the selected records to see if they have been saved since data was last loaded. This feature prevents you from unintentionally overwriting work done by others.

If the selected records have not been saved to an iteration, the system stops the load procedure. At this point, you can either use the Save Iteration option to save the affected ledger accounts to an iteration or use the Load Revenue Iterations page's Clear Iteration item on the Action Bar to allow overwriting the unsaved information.

Following are the procedures for loading iteration data into the revenue budget worksheet and for clearing ledger accounts that have unsaved data.
