An allowance is an amount that you allocate in anticipation of purchases from the budget.
For entry details on allowances, or the entry of allowances for a set of budgets, see Budget allowances.

- Fiscal year: As default, the fiscal year of the current date. The allowances displayed are those with an assignment date falling within this fiscal year.
- Consolidation on descendants: If this box is checked, all the allowances of the child budgets are taken into account recursively in the calculation and displayed.
In order for the display to take into account a change of the selected fiscal year or the status of the check box, click on the "Update" button.
All the allowances and amounts displayed are calculated for all entries:
- for the budget (possibly descendant budgets),
- during the period of the fiscal year.
Allowances can be added to the Budget as well as to a descendant budget by indicating it in the dedicated column, only at the time the allowance is created.
