Reallocate budgets

You may discover that one investment plan has surplus funds that are urgently needed elsewhere, which requires a budget transfer. Alternatively, you might need to cut funding for underperforming initiatives or add new funds entirely, which requires a budget adjustment.

Who can reallocate budgets?

If you have the Editor or Administrator role, you can initiate transfers or adjustments to update investment budget totals.

Once you submit a request, you can monitor its progress through a transparent approval workflow. This allows you to see whether reallocations are pending, completed, or denied. All users can view request details and history logs for audit purposes.

Process overview

  1. Submit a request: Start a new request from either the Roll-up panel or directly within an investment plan.

  2. Pending status: The request is captured in the Request view with a Pending status, and the required approvers are notified via email.

  3. Approval routing: The workflow depends on the type of reallocation:

    • Transfer: Moves budget from one investment plan to another. Both the outgoing and incoming sides must have at least one approver confirm the transfer. (Note: If an approver oversees both sides, their single confirmation covers the whole transfer.)

    • Adjustment: Increases or decreases the budget of a single investment plan. This only requires confirmation from an approver for that specific plan.

  4. Completion: Once approved, the targeted investment budget totals are automatically updated, and you will receive a status email. You can review all past transfers and adjustments at any time in the Requests view.
