Today’s Conversation – Budgets
The Budget Management module appears to be a bit of
a mystery to too many folks –
• So – we need to concentrate some time on this one as
well so that organizations can clearly see where they are
against the budget throughout the year!
• Simple budget entry and ultimate comparisons can be
handled without the budget module --- complex
budgeting needs the module.
Here are the Areas of Concentration in the budgeting
area Today
• The business rules relating to budget entry
• How to input and review in the most efficient and easy
manner
• Budget comparison report configuration
• Budget Management, and impact (or need for) multiple
budget version capabilities
• Should I simply enter the data, or use the Budget
Worksheet to create and transfer, with How To’s for
Worksheet creation
