Slide 1

Slide notes: We can add expenditure streams directly from our Budget.

Slide 3

Slide notes: For this, we will use option 303.

Slide 4

Slide notes:

Slide 5

Slide notes: We can choose a description for the expense stream which will directly interrogate the Budget for selected GL Accounts.

Slide 7

Slide notes: The help document describes how Budgeted Expense works as an expenditure stream.

Slide 10

Slide notes: What we need to do, is to choose a start date for the 1st Budget Period. This date is used to indicate the day of the month when the Budget entries will appear on the projection, and it also synchronizes the month to the 1st Budget period, with the rest following sequentially. Once it is done, it can remain operational for many years, as the system will treat it as recurring annually.

Slide 16

Slide notes: Once we select the 1st date, the system will automatically fill the dates for the other Budget periods.

Slide 17

Slide notes: We may change any of these dates if necessary, and we may also delete some of the dates if we do not wish to have projections for selected Budget periods. When we remove a Budget period start date, then that Budget period will not result in an entry on the projected Cash Flow.

Slide 18

Slide notes: For example, if we perform the projection for a month, then only a single entry from the Budget stream will appear on the Cash Flow, but when we perform it for a longer period like several months, then multiple entries from the Budget stream will appear on the Cash Flow, provided of course that such Budget periods have start dates on which to base the projection.

Slide 19

Slide notes: The remaining logic is to set the criteria that will determine which GL Accounts to use to read the Budget.

Slide 35

Slide notes: The help explains how we may state our logic for selection of GL Accounts. In this example, we are selecting all GL Accounts with the Income Statement Flag set for Staff Costs.

Slide 45

Slide notes: Now we have defined a Budget item as an expense stream. We can use any number of such streams on a Cash Flow projection.
