A new budget number will be automatically created for each demand plan/alternative plan with the selected keys according to the demand plan/alternative plan.

For a demand plan of type promotion, the promotion ID will also be defined as a selected key.

The budget will be created for balances types Sales net value and Sales quantity. Depending on the forecasting unit in the demand plan, budget for one of the balance types Sales cost value, Sales net weight, Sales gross weight, Sales net volume and Sales gross volume will also be created. Note: For an alternative plan, only the balance type that corresponds to the forecasting unit is created.
