Result or Product of this Process

Use this process to request approval for project budget(s). (Budget = Funded Amount)

    Projects now have an appropriate budget template added when the project is created. Users run the 03.01a Budget Approval process to create the project budget and gain approvals.

    This process also results in the assignment of a cost object to the project.

    This version of the process includes steps, early in the workflow, to ensure that 0's and negative numbers are properly handled to comply with integration requirements.
