A budget is used to limit spending for overall groups of people. Purchases count against budgets by being associated with cost centers. Buyers must select a cost center when checking out, so the purchase total is counted against that budget.

Budgets are not optional. An error will occur if a cost center is used without a corresponding budget. The same budget can be assigned to multiple cost centers.

Creating a Budget

  1. From the My Company home page, click Budgets.

  2. Click Add, and then fill in the following required fields:

    • Name
    • Code
