Budget Preparation is a flexible program that is suitable for complex budget procedures as well as comparatively simple ones. Depending on factors such as the size of your organization, level of detail required in budget figures, and number of levels in the approval process, you may find your site does not use all of Budget Preparation's features to prepare the annual expenditure budget.
At the most basic level, the system gives you a working space to prepare the expenditure budget: the expenditure budget worksheet. The Budget Entry center's Expenditure options let you update ledger account data at specific budgetary approval levels: Requested, Recommended, and Approved. In addition, you can enter figures for up to four future years.
