Miscellaneous prerequisites

Tables

Before proceeding with the setup of the budget calculation formulas, you need to define certain basic information such as:

  • the budgets,
  • the budget entry transactions,
  • the company and site architecture. Although a budget code is not linked to either a site or a company, it is necessary to define whether the budget is built by site or by company.
  • the accounting periods as well as the fiscal years,
  • the dimension and account analytical charts (this is not mandatory but it can make it possible to improve the setup of the budget variables).
  • the budget versions,
