When you try to track time against a specific budget, it may not come up as an option. Alternatively, you may come across a message like this:

The budget has been delivered
The budget has no services
Time tracking against the services has been disabled
Time tracking is restricted only to assigned services or service types

Disabled tracking against services
The budget has service types associated with it, but time tracking against them has been disabled. Click on the Edit icon first.
Then, click on the highlighted icon to enable time tracking:
And make sure you save the changes!
