Classification Type

Overview

Classification Type is a general catalogue for the Budget Planning module which allows classifying coding blocks with different types such as revenue, expenses, salary, non-salary, debt, etc. for validation and reporting purposes. The mentioned coding blocks are included in the budget lines as part of a budget plan. This entity works as a catalogue which can be applicable to many scenarios and budget versions.

Classification Type is an independent process of posting data into a Budget Planning, therefore defining a Classification Type can be done before or during the entering of data into a Budget Plan, but in order to have a proper Budget Line’s coding block classification the process of defining and creating the Classification Types should be prior to the final posting of information into a Budget Plan.
