Budget funding

Although you can plan your budget by using either top-down or bottom-up methods, the flow of actual money travels down the linked plan, program, project hierarchy. Regardless of how you plan your expenses, plans fund programs, which fund projects, which in turn fund any child or subprojects.

For more information about budget planning, see Planning budgets from the top down and Planning budgets from the bottom up.

Note: Since stand-alone programs and projects are not linked to plans, they have their own budgets that you enter directly on their respective budget tabs.
