Edit Line Item Details Page

The Edit Line Item Details page allows you to change the details of a budget line item. Once a line item amount has been added and approved, it cannot be changed. A budget change is required to make changes dollar to amounts. The details that can be modified are the account code, account description, and, if funding is enabled on the budget level, a different funding rule can also be added.
