The methods for calculating budget amounts based on amounts or percentages you specify are: |
| |
|
| |
• Fixed Amount
Select this option to enter an amount that the system adds or copies into the budget column for each period.
When you select this option, a Fixed Amount field appears, letting you specify the amount. You must also indicate whether the amount is for costs, quantity, or revenue. |
| |
|
| |
• Spread Amount
Select this option to enter an amount that the system distributes evenly across the budget column for each period. Any remainder is added into the last period.
When you select this option, a Spread Amount field appears, letting you specify the amount. You must also indicate whether the amount is for costs, quantity, or revenue. |

• Base, Percent Increase
Select this option to enter the base amount you want to budget for Period 1 in the Base Amount field.
Enter the percentage by which to increase the amount in each subsequent period in the % Increase field. You must also indicate whether the amount is for costs, quantity, or revenue.
The system uses the base quantity, cost, or revenue you specify as the Period 1 budget amount.
To calculate the budget amount for Period 2, the system multiplies the Period 1 amount by the percentage in the % Increase field.
To calculate the Period 3 budget amount, the system multiplies the Period 2 amount by the % Increase percentage.
The system continues to calculate budget amounts in this manner until all the periods have a budget quantity, cost, or revenue. |
