Flat File Interface to Budget Set - GLBUBAFI

This process loads a flat file directly to the page stated within question, "Budget Set type to be created." Configure and load the flat file using an Excel template file that can be saved locally and loaded directly to BusinessPlus, then edit and distribute the set as usual.

To submit the budget set to a specific page, consider the following information:
AJ - Intrafund Adjustments ->  GLBUBAAJ
AN - Annual Budgets -> GLBUBAAN
ST - Standard Budget Set (Default) -> GLBUBAUB
TR - Intrafund Transfers -> GLBUBATR
The software recognizes and allows "SYSTEM" in the Set ID and/or Reference field to then pull the next autogenerated Set ID or Reference from the corresponding SYNO common code. If the Set ID or Reference fields are left blank, the software will assume it to be "SYSTEM" and use the SYNO common code. This is also reflected in the upload file itself: if "SYSTEM" is used in the Set ID or Reference columns, the software will use the SYNO common code to derive the next autogenerated seed value. A custom Set ID or Reference can also be entered.
