Budget Sheet Entry and Analysis
The budget sheet enables you to complete your Treasury Budget with amounts that you calculate or enter.
To access this function, some setup is required.
For more information on:
- Common setup, see topic Setup,
- Setting up display filters for the budget sheet, see topic Display Filters.
Two modes are available for the display of budget sheets: Budget Planning and Analysis modes.
- Budget Planning Mode
The Budget Planning mode enables you to enter amounts, create amounts calculation formulas for specific periods in the Operational or Treasury Budgets, and import the actual cash flows from the Treasury Budget.
- Analysis Mode
The Budget Analysis mode enables you to display the discrepancies between your treasury budget forecasts and the flows saved in Cash, and to roll Non-actual Forecasts.
This mode does not allow any input. However, you may export data to Microsoft® Excel®.
In the Modules Tasks pane, select the Budget sheet option in the Management folder of the Liquidity module.

The filters for Budget Sheets enable you to define criteria and display settings for the function.
See topic Display Filters for more information on setting up filters for Budget Sheets.
- If a filter has already been set up, the Budget entry page is displayed.
This page consists in two panes.
- The left pane is divided into two parts which display:
- on top, the tree structure of the budget exercises, presenting the elements selected in the applied display filter,
- and at the bottom, the quick filter.
For more information on the setup of quick filters, see topic Display Filters.
- The right pane displays your budget sheet for which you defined the active filter and the display preferences.
