Expenses¶

Hierarchical budget¶

The hierarchical view of budgets allows you to display an overview of budgets in a graphic way with an indent system for better reading.

You can filter the list of budgets using the parent budget filter.

You can display a particular budget family.

You can move budgets by “drag and drop”.

Budget¶

A budget is a list of all products and different expenses to plan. It is a plan that allows to define in advance the expenses, the incomes and the possible savings to be realized during a definite period.

It allows to anticipate the resources that the company will have at a specific moment.

You can create as much budget and sub budget as you want.
An expense is related to a base budget, ie a budget item
A budget item is linked to a parent budget
Only the current budget items will be displayed in the lists.
Current, under construction and closed budgets will not appear in the lists. To view the closed items, check the “closed” box.

Budget parent filter¶

With the filter, you can display in the list area, only a budget and its family (sub-budget).

An indentation of these to the right shows that they are sub-budgets.

To see the closed items in this list, check the “closed” box.

If you change the name of a budget, remember to refresh the page so that the lists take into account the changes.

The parent budget exists only to consolidate the data of the underlying budget items.
You cannot modify the expenses in the Progress field of a parent budget.
Only the target amount can be changed if the budget treatment is still under construction.

The budget item¶

The budget item is the finer element of the budget analysis.
These posts or budget destinations will allow you to detail your budget, categorizing it at your convenience.
When you create a project expenses or an individual expenses, you can link them to a specific budget item.

Treatment¶

This area allow you to change the macro state of the budget.

A budget may be under construction
A budget under construction does not allow to see the fields “target amount” and prevents the modification of the estimated amount
The “approved” macro-state changes and automatically cancels the “under construction” macro state. The date is then displayed in the fields of the macro-state concerned.
Each sub-budget is then impacted and the “approved” state will then be propagated on all of his family.
Each macro state “under construction”, “approved”, “closed” and “canceled” modified from the parent budget screen propagates in cascade over the entire budget hierarchy.

Progress¶

This section allows to follow the consolidation of all the expenses.

The target amount is the only amount that you can change on a parent budget if it is still under construction.

The other amounts are recovered from the sub-budgets and consolidated on the parent budget.

Transferred Amount allows to release a sum of an amount planned for a budget item in order to redistribute it to another item.

This amount is visible on all budget items.

Transfered Amount

Enter a negative amount on a budget line to transfer an amount
Enter a positive amount on a budget line to recover this amount
Only the parent budget and its sub budget will see this amount.
Another parent budget can not recover this amount.
