Uploading Budget Item Detail to GL Budgets

There are two ways to upload the Budget Item Detail information to the GL to create budgets within the actual GL budgeting system:

1. Create Budget Adjustment File (BDGLCB) — This utility is the recommended method of the BD to GL Interface upload. Though both utilities have exactly the same fields, instead of directly updating the budget, it creates a budget adjustment transaction "Set" that will sit in the GL Budgeting Set file (GLBUBAxx) until it can be reviewed, proofed, and distributed just like a regular GLBU Set transaction.
2. Distribute Budgets to GL (BDGLDS) — This utility is to be used with great caution by a user who is very sure of what is going to be uploaded. There will not be a batch proof, and there is not any way to see what is going to be uploaded before it is actually uploaded. This tool is useful for situations where the BD is very simple. The direct method (not recommended) to distribute budgets to GL.

In either method, there must be a "BD Selection Criteria Template" (software defaults to "ALL"), and a "Name for the Set Budget Adjustment file." In the case of the direct upload, this field is still used on the background table for organization purposes even though a "Set" is not created. 

Any selection criteria made in the use of the upload utility will override that specified in the Selection Template.
