View Control Account Authorized Budget

Often the control account's authorized budget (BAC) is driven by a bottom up number. In this case, you enter the control account's BAC after you define, schedule, and scope all of the control account's work packages. Use the control account's Budget (BAC) field to compare the work package's current aggregated BAC against your authorized budget. This display-only field displays an aggregation of the sum of BAC of all the control account’s work packages.
