General Ledger Budget Tools Overview

These Sapphire General Ledger GL Budget Tools enable the SapphireOne user to alter multiple General Ledger budgets simultaneously, processing all items selected or highlighted on screen. This gives the SapphireOne user the unique ability to filter out any general ledger accounts they do not wish to apply any of the GL Budget Tools to. For each General Ledger account, actual figures are shown for each period and these can be compared with budget figures as required. Budget figures are included from your General Ledger accounts, by clicking the boxes as required. There is also provision for the entry of revised budget figures if it is required.

The Sapphire Budget Tools include Copy Last Year’s Actual Into Budget, Copy This Year’s Budget into Next Year, Copy This Year’s Actual into Next Year, Copy Budget to Revised, Copy Revised to Budget and Swap Budget and Revised. By utilising these tools the SapphireOne user has the ability to copy previous year’s budgets and actual balances into the following year, copy current and revised budgets and swap current and revised budget values.

These tools will process all items currently selected or highlighted on screen. The user is strongly advised to filter out any general ledger accounts that you do not want any of these tools to apply to then select all the items on screen.
