This can be changed if you wish to amend it, however, we would usually recommend a monthly budget for ease of reporting. 

Department Charges Monthly 

Within the budget monthly view, you will see a list of months for the current year. 

  • Enter the data line by line into the required department
  • The variance line allows you to track differences between the actual and budgeted
  • Negative values can be entered here when it is an income to the department
  • Click "Save Department" in the bottom right once you are satisfied with your entry. We recommend doing this after each department to ensure no data is lost.
