What is the Budget Checking feature?
The Budget Checking feature makes sure that an Organisation does not overspend, i.e. does not spend more money than intended:

Budgets are prepared either in Xero or some other 3rd-party system, and then uploaded/synced to ApprovalMax where Bills and Purchase Orders get checked against the respective budgets.
Budget Checking will consider requests that have been approved before the budget got uploaded to ApprovalMax - if these requests relate to the budget ( i.e. via Date/Tracking Category).
When you're uploading/adding a budget in Xero, you can set filters for the Tracking Categories that will be applied to this particular budget.
Tracking Categories affect how Budget Checking is applied.
