Overview

This is a container that allows to have several budget versions, sharing same ceiling structure (data can be different) and also same budget parameters.

A Budget Planning Scenario can be used for budget planning and also for forecasting purposes. A Budget Planning Scenario contains information about Budget Planning Scenario Fiscal Year that has the collection (one to many) of fiscal years allowed to each Scenario which can be used for scenario forecasting and also to accommodate concepts such as MTBF (Medium Term Budget Framework). It also contains a Budget Planning Scenario CoA Group that has the collection (one to many) of CoA groups allowed in each Scenario which will be used to establish the different levels of budget plans within the COA hierarchy.
