OU Thresholds
Thresholds are set on an OU and represent the maximum, upper-limit of spend by projects descending from that OU.
Thresholds can be used with or without project-level budgets. When used alone, they are useful for monitoring project spend at a high-level without setting up individual budgets. You may want to take this approach if you don't want to monitor individual projects, but you do want to control what they spend cumulatively.
This page shows upcoming and past thresholds.
