Levels

Organizational levels are built automatically from your chart of accounts based on the Reports To field in the Organization table. Each user of Budget Construction is placed somewhere in the organization hierarchy when the user's role is assigned. As soon as a user opens a document, his or her level is displayed in the BC document, and this indicates how many levels he or she can pull up or push down the document.

For example, if the BL-1031400 account belongs to the Psychology (PSY) department, which reports to the Arts and Science School (ARSC), which reports to the Bloomington campus (BL), which ultimately reports to IN-UNIV (Indiana University), you may place BC processors at each level of the organization as shown in the organization tree on the right.

Then each BC processor can pull up and push down the BC document for the levels they are assigned to.

The following chart summarizes the activities each user shown in the figure above can perform based on the organization hierarchy.
