From the in-line gears menu, you can delete budgets or create child budgets.

To create a child budget:

1.Click New Budget from the associated in-line gears menu.
The Create Budget window appears.

The Parent Budget field is automatically completed with the budget that you selected.

2.Complete the fields on the Create Budget page as required with the following exceptions:

Budget Group – this is pre-set to match the Budget Group setting of the parent budget. (This also means that you cannot change the Cost Components in the Cost Breakdown pane).

Total Budget – child budgets inherit their budget from their parent budget, so you can allocate a total budget only up to the value of the available budget in the parent budget.
