Budgets Setup Details

Setting up budgets is optional. If you do not want to use the budget option, do not set up. Budgets can be set up at any time because they do not affect the setup process. When you are setting up, you must set up budget versions first and then set up budgets for each entitycompany. Initially, we suggest that you set up one budget version and budget as the default version for each entitycompany.

Examples of budget versions include prior year budgets, quarterly or semi-annual budgets, or future year budgets. As you set up more of the system, you can add additional budget versions and budgets. You can add as many budgets as needed for each entitycompany.
