The way we can actually insert the budget is very time consuming and the report is limited.
Input
I think that we should better have an input screen, something like the “starting balance” input, with all the accounts’ voices (both of the balance sheet and of the profit and loss) from which we can edit all the budgeted values. This input should be doable n-times and saved with different names. The input and edit need to be adjustable with batch functions.
Report
We should create a report in which we can set competence periods (start date / end date) and linked budgets. In the same report we can set different competence periods and linked budgets. The resulting report will have different columns:
- account
- budget
- actuals
- difference 2 - 3
Points from 2 to 4 will be repeated for each comparison we set up.
