Cost Drivers

Overview

This Tab is used to manage (add, update or remove) cost drivers in a budget plan. The user has the option to manually enter cost drivers (one by one) which will generate budget lines, under the Budget Line Tab.  The budget lines created are summarized by Coding Block.

The screen is divided into two sections. The search criteria section allows to search existing cost drivers by different criteria, in addition to the Cost Driver Institution that will need to be null (not specified under the Cost Driver), or will need to match the Budget Plan Institution or be a parent to the Budget Plan Institution.
