Please follow described approach carefully to provide misunderstandings and to avoid unnecessary burdens:
1. Enter Professional Planner interface and select related budget reports
2. Confirm appearing error message Input sum level
3. No budget-inputs for Balance Sheet, Order Intake, Backlog, Investments
4. Each month = 1/12 year. No seasonality - neither in sales nor in costs.
5. Enter always positive figures besides sales deductions.
6. By entering data in column “2015” a monthly spread is done automatically. Do not use this function for FTE planning.
7. Do monthly entries for employees. Employees are FTEs, not headcounts.
8. Key ‘F5’ to refresh the report whilst doing your entries.
9. Set the status ’completed’ on each month when done.
10. Budget rates for foreign currencies are the closing rates of November and will be updated with yearend rates later.
11. Reporting Manual provides information concerning budgeting in chapter 2.4.4.
12. Accounting Manual provides information concerning updated P&L structure.
