Budget calendar

The budgets calendar shows due dates for budgets and status reports. Due dates for accruals, budgets, and status reports are typically linked so that workflows are consolidated. For example, if a status report and budget are due in the same month, they have the same due dates.
note
The dates on the Budget calendar page show a general timeline of when required actions become due, not which events are required for a specific matter. The due dates are default dates. Consequently, there may be situations where due dates are not required for a matter but the schedule shows that they are due.

Open the budgets calendar

There are several ways to open the budgets calendar:
  • From Home > Budget schedule - Opens the Budget calendar, showing due dates for budgets and status reports.
