Budget transfer refers to the process of reallocating funds from one budget line item to another within a project or across projects. This allows project managers to adapt to changing project needs without disrupting overall financial control.
Budget additions or removals refer to the direct modifications made to the budget of a project. Adding funds or taking funds away can result from various factors such as unexpected costs, scope adjustments, resource reallocations, or changes in project timelines.
