No budget controlBudgets are optional; most accounts run without one

Clearvale Cleaning Supplies carries no budget on any site. Orders go through without budget checks and no budget or approval furniture appears anywhere on the account. Setting one is optional: give a site an allocation below and the live impact, the over-budget hold and the named approval all switch on for that site only.

An allocation is per site and per category. The moment one is saved, the site gains its budget position here and the over-budget rule on the order flow; clearing this session's cookies puts the account back as seeded.
The same numbers drive the shop's budget meters and the Approval Queue's Budget Breakdown, so an approver and an administrator can never disagree.
