Overview
The % of Dependency feature automates budget calculations by linking specific budget line items to other components. When the base budget changes, dependent values automatically adjust, reducing manual work and ensuring accurate financial tracking.
Process
Enable the % of Dependency Unit
When adding a budget line item, select % of Dependency as the unit of measure.
Link to a Budget Component
Choose whether the item should be a percentage of:
A specific budget line item
A category
A phase
The entire budget
Automated Updates
If the base budget changes, all linked costs automatically recalculate.
Example: If a cost code is set to 10% of a $100K budget, it calculates to $10K, making the total $110K.
Managing Budget Changes & Locking Values
Users receive notifications when budget changes impact dependent line items.
After final approval, users can unlink dependencies and lock values to prevent further automatic updates.
