# Associating Campaign Budgets

You can decide to associate a budget with a campaign. Doing so enables financial reporting on campaigns by line item expenditure and comparison of budgeted costs with actual costs. Associating expected revenue and tracking the opportunity value associated with a campaign facilitates the calculation of the return on investment for the campaign as well as the cost for each prospect or cost for each opportunity.

Budget items can be added to both campaigns and programs. Program line items roll up to the campaign but are listed separately. The following table defines the fields that apply to both campaign budget line items and program budget line items:

Field | Description
--- | ---
Expected Revenue | Estimated revenue during campaign planning.
Forecasted Revenue | Derived (or entered manually) from opportunities that have been imported into Oracle CRM On Demand Marketing and associated with this campaign and program.
Actual Revenue | Derived (or entered manually) from closed opportunities.
Cost | Calculated by unit (impression). It is a fixed cost.
Adjustment | Might be an additional budget amount added, which can be tracked separately from the overall budget. For example, a business partner contributed $500 to the cost of the January newsletter.
