Read-only, locks and the status strip
What the header tells you, why a screen is read-only, and how review and submission move the state.
The status strip
The header shows your MDA’s Budget state for the year (Draft, In review, Submitted, Frozen), the MTREF state (Draft, Submitted, Accepted, Archived) and a lock that says whether you can enter figures. Hover it for the reason.
Why a screen is read-only
Four reasons, each shown in a banner: the Budget Office froze your MDA; the budget is submitted (retract to edit); the Budget Office locked a section or everything for the year, for every MDA or for yours, with a reason; or the exercise is not open.
Review, then submit
A GOE User sends the budget for review from the dashboard; the GOE Admins are notified in the app and by email. Only a GOE Admin submits to the Budget Office; the Budget Office (Admins and BOF Reviewers, the Budget Office of the Federation) is notified the same way.
Years
MDA users work on the current year: the year whose exercise is open. The Budget Office and reviewers can move across years.
