Budget Versions

 

KC assigns an incremental budget version to each Award Budget document that is approved and posted to the financial system from KC (when KC is linked to a financial system).  When the budget is initially created, a budget version exists automatically, but if a budget is rejected or cancelled, the number assigned to it can be used for the next version.  This is done in the Budget Versions section of the Award document.
