Manually Adjust Values in Cash Flow Budget

This document explains how you update an existing cash flow budget by manually adjusting and entering budget values.

Outcome

Budget values are adjusted or new values entered per day or per period.

Use the adjusted budget to plan the company's cash flow. See Managing Cash Flow.

The adjustments are saved in the following files: Budget details per period (FBUDET), budget details per day (FBUDAY), and budget summary (FBUSUM).

Before you start

  • The starting conditions listed in Managing Cash Flow Budgets must be met.
  • A cash flow budget must be created in 'Cash Flow Budget. Create from Budget' (CFS100).
  • A period accounting curve must be created in 'Period Accounting Curve. Open' (CRS450).

Follow These Steps

  1. Select 'Budget. Open' (BUS100).

  2. On the B panel, select option 11 = 'Budget values' for the cash flow budget.

    'Budget. Update Periodic Budget Values' (BUS101) is called.

  3. In (BUS101/B), select one of these alternatives:

    • Adjust Period Values
    • Adjust Daily Values

    Adjust Period Values

  1. In (BUS101/B), open the accounting string whose values you wish to adjust.

  2. In (BUS101/E), select one of the following alternatives to change the budget values at period level and press Enter:

    • Manually change the total balance for the budget periods in the 'Currency amount' field. (The period values are automatically adjusted according to the period accounting curve previously used.)
    • Change the distribution of the current total balance by entering a new period accounting curve in the Curve field
    • Change the distribution and the balance by entering both a new distribution curve and a new balance.

  3. Repeat steps in (BUS101/B) and (BUS101/E) for all accounting strings you wish to adjust.

  4. To continue to adjusting daily values, select one of the following alternatives:

    • Press Enter after settings in (BUS101/E) are completed.
    • Select option 11 = 'Budget per day' in (BUS101/B).

Adjust Daily Values

If you changed a period balance, you need to adjust any daily values previously entered manually to correspond to the new balance:

  1. In (BUS105/B), open the period whose values per day you wish to adjust.

  2. Distribute the balance for each day until the amount left to distribute is zero. Press Enter to return to (BUS105/B).

    You have to distribute the entire balance before leaving the panel.

  3. Repeat these steps for each period to be adjusted.
