Budgets

A budget is a plan made of lines: “Driver 1 salary — $28,000”, “fuel — $9,000”. Propose one before the money exists, freeze it once the award is signed, then branch a what-if off it to test a change without touching the approved numbers.

What is this

What kind of budget is this* this decides what it attaches to

What is it called* e.g. HPNAP coordination, first proposal

Reference code* suggested from the program — must be unique

Pick a program below and a code is suggested, e.g. HPNAP-PROP-V1. You can overwrite it.

Which program is this proposal for* a proposal is planned against a program, not a contract · shown only for a proposal

Which award is this the budget for* an approved budget is the compliance target for one contract · shown only for an approved budget

An approved budget holds the envelope each engagement may spend. Its lines must name both the engagement and the slice it draws from — that is what lets actual invoices be matched to the plan.

Which award does this branch from* and then say which existing scenario it compares against

Branch off which scenario* the approved budget is the usual starting point, but you can branch from an existing what-if to test a second idea on top of the first

An archived scenario is unconstrained — use it to park a plan that is no longer live. Set the program or contract below if you want to keep the link.
