Budgeting

The Budgeting module allows you to design the budget model exactly as you want it, and enter budget data live online.

The budget data can be saved to your accounting system or be saved to the OneStop Reporting budget table and will be available in OneStop Reporting report templates.

To make data entry smooth and efficient, the Budgeting module features spreading (distribution rules), unit-/percent-based calculations, historical data, and line item details. You can also assign the budgeting to one or more users using the Assign function. For larger organisations, with multiple people involved in the budgeting process, it is advised to use the Workflow module.

There are essentially three ways to create a budget:

• Use the budget templates from OneStop Reporting. (see Get budget templates)
• Build a budget template from scratch (see Create new budget template and Create budget template in Report Designer)
• Use an existing report and convert to a budget template (see Create budget template in Report Designer)
