SPW - Examples

Budgeting for attendance at conferences, where registration revenue and expenses are per participant

Budgeting several locations with similar types of underlying calculations and assumptions; for example, a school that charges tuition and program fees that vary by location

Budgeting for an event, where there is income expected from registrations and expenses associated with the event

For churches, budgeting for income, where tithes can be predicted based on historical giving rates and levels of attendance

Budgeting based on a value calculated within the worksheet (such as a 10% tithe to Missions) based on predicted income, or a 5% license fee based on predicted revenue)

Budgeting for the purchase of office furnishings where there are multiple components to be specified (desks, chairs, and filing cabinets) but all costs are to be assigned to the same account

Budgeting at the departmental level for amounts allocated by management. For example, applying rent or salary cost to departmental budgets, so that the amounts budgeted are predetermined and cannot be changed at the departmental level.

Locked vs. Frozen

42 of 50

Locked vs. Frozen

  • Locked Budget Worksheets
    • When a worksheet is locked, no changes can be made to it.
    • Individual worksheets are always locked when they are submitted for approval, and they can be unlocked individually on the Worksheet page by Admin users or non-admins with the Unlock Budget Worksheets privilege.
    • Planner Setup screen can be used to review the locked status of budget worksheets, and to lock or unlock all worksheets in a specific budget.

43 of 50

Locked vs. Frozen

  • Freezing Closed Months
    • The “frozen” feature prevents changes to earlier months in a budget year.
    • Budgets are frozen in two ways:
        • Whenever actuals are loaded into a budget, the budget is frozen.
        • By manually setting a budget as frozen.
    • In a frozen budget, all months prior to and including the Last Closed Month are frozen
    • The frozen status affects all worksheets in a frozen budget.
