Revenue Budget Process - Requested Page


This is the main page associated with the Requested option in the Budget Entry center's Revenue section. The page has two sections: Search Criteria and Worksheet. The worksheet lets you view and update budget data at the Requested level for the ledger accounts selected in a search.

Through this page, you can also perform the following actions:

  • Add new Revenue Ledger accounts or delete records that are not needed.

  • Access and update existing records in the Detail page.

  • Add notes or itemize an account in the Notes page.

  • Print the data in the worksheet.
