Budget Planning and Control
Budget is a discipline. Tracking goals and keeping costs under control is vital for businesses. Workcube creates real-time budget records for business functions that perform budget transactions. These records allow you to track all planned or unplanned expenses and income. If you have planned your income and expenses according to income-cost centers, you can compare the results and plans at any time.
To use budget tools effectively, you should know 4 concepts;
- Income and Expense Center: It is a logical grouping approach that can have a special meaning for the business where income and expenses occur. Organizational units such as branches, departments, business units, and teams can be income-cost centers. Income-cost centers can be designed according to product and service categories.
- Budget Category: These are logical groups used to separate income and expenses. You can create parent categories such as Human Resources, Production, R&D.
- Budget Item: These are logical groups used to separate income and expenses under budget categories. Budget items such as Stationery Expenses, Fuel Expenses, Manufacturing Revenues can be created.
- Budget Context and Dimensions: You can size the budget to track activity-based costs.

- The option to perform budget processing in transaction categories is selected.
- Budget center and items of products and services must be defined. In some cases, automatic budget distribution records can be created by connecting product-services to the expense and income template.
When these settings and definitions are made, the system makes budget records for each transaction.
Sample Fiction:
Manufacturing, sales, service and finance-administrative affairs departments of a company that manufactures centrifuges and welding machines.
If stainless steel is used in centrifuge manufacturing;
Cost-Revenue Center: Manufacturing
Budget Category: Manufacturing Expenses
Budget Item: Manufacturing Sheet Metal Expenses
When the rent of the vehicle used by an employee in the finance department is paid;
Cost-Revenue Center: Finance and Administrative Affairs
Budget Category: Transportation Expenses
Budget Item: Vehicle Rentals
When the welding machine is sold;
Cost-Revenue Center: Sales
Budget Category: Sales Revenues
Budget Item:Welding Machine Sales Revenues
Food When the company issues a meal invoice;
If 30 people work in Manufacturing, 10 in Sales, and 10 in Finance and Administrative Affairs, the expense is shared according to the number of employees.
Cost-Revenue Center: 60% Manufacturing, 20% Sales and 20% Finance and Administrative Affairs
Budget Category: General Expenses
Budget Item: Kitchen Expenses.
When a bank transfer is made to a supplier, the expense paid for the transfer;
Cost-Revenue Center: Finance and Administrative Affairs
Budget Category: Financial Expenses
Budget Item: Money Transfer EFT Expenditures.
As can be understood from the examples, all work that carries out budget transactions. functionsBudget results are generated automatically when saved or updated.
Tip: If you want to compare or report these results with targets, you should make plans using budget planning slips.

Budget Planning What is a Receipt?
These are planning screens created to compare spending limits and income targets in a certain time period with what happened at the end of that time period. Planning is done by entering the cost-income centers, planner, target and budget items in the planning slips.

Attention:Products and services added to purchase and sales invoices create budget records. Therefore, it is necessary to set budget items for all products and services sold or purchased. You must make accounting and budget definitions on the product registration screens.
Budget, Realization, Free Use and Unplanned Expenditures
Business units prepare the budget of all investment and expenditure amounts they will make during the year. Thus, before spending, it is checked whether there is provision in the budget. If there is sufficient budget, spending is allowed. If there is not enough budget, the expenditure is blocked. Unplanned expenditures due to budget overruns are subject to approval.
