Visma Net
Budget configuration (GL205000)
This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.
You use this window to create a budget structure for your organisation or to view and modify the existing budget structure.
The budget structure is represented by a tree that consists of budget articles. Some of the
budget articles are leaves, and some are nodes.
Each budget article that is a
leaf is defined by an account-subaccount pair. Each budget article that is a
node contains leaves, other nodes, or leaves and nodes.
The budget articles,
whether they are leaves or nodes, listed within a node, are also referred to as
subarticles.
For more information on budget structures, see: Budget structure example.
The amount for each budget article that is a node is calculated automatically as the sum of the article's subarticles.
The Budget tree pane
In this pane, you can view or modify the budget tree that will be used for all budgets in
all branches of your organisation.
The pane displays only the budget articles that are
nodes; click any node to open the list of its subarticles in the right pane.
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
|
Delete node |
Removes the selected node from the tree. |
|
Move left |
Moves the selected node one level up, under the enclosing node. |
|
Move right |
Moves the selected node one level down or appends the node at the bottom of the list contained by the upper node of the same level. |
|
Move node up |
Moves the selected node one position up the list within the same node. |
|
Move node down |
Moves the selected node one position down the list within the same node. |
The Subarticles pane
In this pane, you can view the list of budget articles contained within the
budget article that is a node selected in the Budget tree pane.
The list may contain budget
articles that are nodes and budget articles that are leaves.
In this pane, you can create the list of items for the node selected in the tree as follows:
- To add nodes to the list:
For each node-type budget article, add a row, type the article name in the Description column and select the Node check box.
Optionally, specify a mask for accounts and a mask for subaccounts that will define the article's subarticles.
When you save your changes, the budget articles appear as same-level nodes on the budget tree. - To add leaves to the list:
Click Preload accounts on the pane toolbar and, in the dialog box, specify the range of accounts and a mask for subaccounts (if subaccounts are used in your system).
The system will generate all possible pairs by using only the accounts listed on the chart of accounts and all the subaccounts that are combinations of subaccount segment values.
Once this list is generated, you can remove the account-subaccount pairs you don't need for budgets.
