Budgeting

Budgeting is a tool for budget creation for the year.

On the top menu of the page, you can select Company, Year, Location and Department for which you are going to create a budget. 

There are Parent account names written in bold on the right side of the page, and child account names on the left side of the page.

Currency in the budget is always a company's currency, that you can change in Offices → Company.

By clicking MORE you will see an extended menu where you can Print the full budget for the selected period, sort by account  types and search among the accounts. To search, enter the name or Account number or Parent account number and press 'Search'.

To add budget for a year period, simply enter it in a month field under the right account.

As here on example, we have budget added for January, February and March for company WDS, 2019 year, the budget has no specific location or department.

Let us select a location and add a budget.

Once we change the location, we can see the page has changed. Budget fields are empty because there is no budget entered yet.

But we can see a Total sum for this account - highlighted by the green frame. If you click on Total sum, you will see an extended summary of the budget for the current company, year and month. Budget values are grouped by department (on the left side) and by location (on the right side).

After adding budget for current location - Total summary changes.

When we select the department and add budget - it appears in Total summary for the account.
