Each slot being budgeted is referred to as budget seat; each budget seat has an FTE value and a wage rate.\\
\\
Budget seats are created for all assignments and for all positions or portions of positions that
are vacant.
* Assignments that are to be projected must be set up as positions to be considered in the budget process. 
* All assignments and positions are budgeted unless the position budget rule is “00-Not Budgeted”. 
* Positions are NOT budgeted if the position status is “00-Not Approved” or the time frame is preceding the position-approved date. 
* Positions are NEVER budgeted if the position status is “06-Obsolete”. 
\\
Assignments and positions that have premiums will result in budget seats with premiums.
* Budget Seat premiums are made up of all applicable Assignment, Position and Job premiums. 
\\
Assignments and positions that have split distributions will result in budget seats with split
distributions.
*Date sensitive changes of distribution information on assignments and position are handled. However, no support is provided for “What If” changes to the split distributions.
\\
Mass HR changes (department, job, positions, etc.) may impact the budget seat details (consider using assumptions.) \\
\\
Assumptions of change can be entered for selected budget seats and specific periods of time.
