AC21.1 - Activity Group Budget Change Orders

Use AC21.1 (Life Only Budget Change Orders) to define and maintain activity
group budget change orders. In Activity Management, there are two ways to
change budgets: budget form actions and budget change orders. Budget form
actions change and update budgets as soon as they are entered, but they
provide no audit trail. Change orders require an Add and Release action and
provide an audit trail.

Unless a spread code exists, budget adjustments made with change orders
spread evenly over the period, year, or life total specified. If you change
the annual budget, the program spreads the new budget to the periods. The
system divides the adjustment amount by the number of periods specified. The
resulting per-period adjustment determines the amount of the change for each
period and year in the period budget and annual budget. The changes are added
to or subtracted from the appropriate years, periods, or life-to-date of the
budget, and the total change amount is added to the total budget amount. If a
spread code exists, the program uses that.

You must maintain a change order on the same form where you defined it
originally. For example, you cannot define a change order on AC21.2 and edit
it on AC21.3. If you try to do so, an error message displays.

If you define values on the Chg Amt line, the program calculates the new
budget amount, rate, and units vertically as Original Budget + Change Amount.
The program also recalculates the Chg Amt line as New Budget - Original
Budget. If you define values on the New Bud line, the program uses those.

If the New Bud line has two values, the program calculates the third using
the formula: Amount = Rate * Units. If the New Bud has all three values, the
program recalculates the amount as Rate * Units and rounds the amount and
units.

If you want to edit a change order that has already been approved, you must
first unapprove it, using AC22.1 (Change Order Approval). Then you can edit
it.

AC21.3 - Activity Budget Change Orders by Activity

Use this form to define and maintain activity budget change orders by
activity. In Activity Management there are two ways to change budgets: budget
form actions and budget change orders. Budget form actions change and update
budgets as soon as they are entered; but they provide no audit trail. Change
orders require an Add and Release action and provide an audit trail.

Unless a spread code exists, budget adjustments made with change orders
spread evenly over the period, year, or life total specified. If you change
the annual budget, the program spreads the new budget to the periods. The
system divides the adjustment amount by the number of periods specified. The
resulting per-period adjustment determines the amount of the change for each
