External Settlements Line Type

External settlements lines work in almost exactly the same way as internal settlement lines, except that they sum up the settlement lines that refer to department/budget outside the sub tree in the budget hierarchy of the main or sum budget of the external settlements line.

For this reason, all settlements registered on a settlements subbudget are summed up on the associated external settlements line on the main budget.

On sum budgets, the lines sum up settlements exactly as internal settlements lines except for the difference mentioned above.
