Step 2: Fill in the Header Information (General Information) Once the form opens, fill in the general information in the upper section:

Cost Center: Select your department from the available dropdown list.
Budget Type: Choose the appropriate budget type.
Budget Period: Select the budget period year, for example, 2025.
Data Upload: If you have supporting data in a file format (e.g., a detailed Excel file), you can upload it here.

Step 3: Fill in the Budget Details In the table section below, detail each budget item one by one:

Account ID: Enter the expense account code to be budgeted (e.g., account for office supplies, business travel expenses, etc.). The system will automatically display the Account Name.
Budget Month: Select the allocation month for the expense (e.g., July).
