    • Years and months are displayed for the ‘budget usage period’ set upon budget planning.
    • The sum of monthly allocation budget amount at the bottom can't exceed the allocation amount entered in Step 5.
    • If the allocation standard is Equal or Ratio, it can be allocated through Allocate Automatically.
  7. Select whether to control budget.
    • If budget control is set to ‘Yes’, then requesting expense settlement, requesting approval of expenditure resolution report, and creation of accounting slips are not available when the budget is used in excess of the allocated amount.
  8. Select the carryover status.
    • Carryover of budget balance can be done only within the ‘usage period’. (See Settlement Type in the ‘Settings > Set Budget’ menu)
    • Carryover not used: It does not carry over the remaining balance of the allocated budget amount.
    • Carryover (month): It carries over the remaining balance of the allocated budget amount to the following month.
    • Carryover (within quarter): It carries over the allocated budget amount to the following month within the quarter. Once the period ends, the balance is not carried over to the next quarter.
    • Carryover (within half year): It carries over the allocated budget amount to the following month within the half year. Once the period ends, the balance is not carried over to the next quarter.
  9. Select the budget status.
    • In the Closed status, it is not displayed when the user views the budget.
  10. Click ‘Save’.
    • The budget allocation is completed.
  • Allocation balance = budget amount - total allocated amount
  • Total allocation amount = cumulative amount allocated from January to December if the usage period is one year
  • Used amount = cumulative amount used in related services
  • Available budget = sum of budget amount allocated for the month and carryover amount
  • If the carryover status is ‘Yes’, monthly available budget = carryover amount from previous month + allocated amount for this month - executed amount for this month
  • If the carryover status is ‘No’, monthly available budget = allocated amount for this month - executed amount for this month
