By default, what percentage is configured as the threshold for a budget in SAP Ariba?

In SAP Ariba, the default configuration for the budget threshold is set at 80%. This means that when spending reaches 80% of the allocated budget, notifications or alerts may be triggered, allowing stakeholders to take action, such as reviewing the remaining budget or authorizing additional spending. Setting this threshold helps organizations maintain better financial control and ensures that budget recipients are alerted before they exceed their financial limits.

The 80% threshold is a common best practice in procurement, emphasizing the need for vigilance as project costs approach their limits, ensuring that any potential overspending is managed proactively. This configuration can often be adjusted based on organizational policies or specific project requirements, but the default serves as a guideline for effective budgeting within SAP Ariba.
