OSID - osid.financials.budgeting.BudgetEntryAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.financials.budgeting.BudgetEntryAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `BudgetEntries.` The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. `OsidForms` are requested for each create or update and may not be reused. Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create an `BudgetEntry,` an `BudgetEntryForm` is requested using `getBudgetEntryFormForCreate()` specifying the desired budget, account period, and record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `BudgetEntryForm` will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the `BudgetEntryForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `BudgetEntryForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `BudgetEntryForms` are requested to the `BudgetEntry` `Id` that is to be updated using `getBudgetEntryFormForUpdate().` Similarly, the `BudgetEntryForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `BudgetEntryForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `BudgetEntryForms.` To unmap an `BudgetEntry` from the current `Business,` the `BudgetEntryBusinessAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `BudgetEntryForm` itself thus removing it from all known `Business` catalogs. This session includes an `Id` aliasing mechanism to assign an external `Id` to an internally assigned Id.
