We have several cost categories, such as Human Resources and Transport Costs, each associated with budget and actual cost data elements. If $100,000 is allocated to Human Resources and $1,000 is deducted and reallocated to Transport Costs, this adjustment should be reflected accordingly in the financial records. How can I go about doing this in my DHIS2
This entirely depends on how you are using DHIS2. Have you created DHIS2 Tracker Programs? What kind of analysis are you expecting at the end? How are you putting together these financial records? Are you using datasets?
If all the info is in one program stage, for instance, then all of this will easily be updated by a program rule.
Thanks!
I am using datasets
Okay, thanks for the clarification!
The aggregate data model using datasets has specific functionalities and features that are different from tracker so it’s good to be aware which data model is being used.
May I ask how these deductions are being made? Does the data entry user have a field “Human resources” and they manually enter $100,000 and another field below it “Transport Costs” and the data entry user would have to manually add $1000 to that field and manually substract $1000 from the value in Human Resources?
The dataset would also have both data elements (‘Transport Costs’ and ‘Human Resources’)?
I used one data element that is disaggregated by cost category(Human resources, Transport Costs etc ) such that on data entry it looks like the attached image

Why not use an indicator? An indicator will work such as Human Resources – Travel cost… (see Trainer's Guide to Indicators - DHIS2 Documentation)
