Reviewing Budget Adjustment History

Adjustment History provides context for how the case's authorization changed over time.

Open the history

  1. Open the case and select Budget.
  2. Locate Adjustment History. You can also select History from Budget Status on Info.
  3. Review the relevant entries and compare them with the current Budget Summary.

What each entry shows

Entries can show Date, Type, Previous, New, Change, Reason, and By. Hours and monetary changes are identified separately. The layout may appear as cards on smaller screens.

Write useful reasons

When adding authorization, describe the approved work and why the allowance changed. For example: “Five additional hours approved for follow-up interviews.” Record approval context according to your organization's practices.

Investigate a discrepancy

Compare the previous and new values and the change amount. Check whether someone entered an additional amount or revised a total. Review underlying time and expenses separately; an adjustment changes authorization, not the historical work records.

Unavailable history

“No budget adjustments recorded” differs from a loading error. Use Retry when offered and verify the result before assuming the history is empty.
