Budgeting:
Scenario Example (Sage 300)
- Use the Optional Tables Spreadsheet Add-in to build a detailed bottom-up budget at the level you need (e.g. Customer & Item rather than just GL level). Store it in an Optional Table 'Infoset' within the Sage 300 database.
- Pull both the Optional Tables budget data and Sage 300 actual sales data into an Info-Explorer cube. Perform slice and dice analysis.
- Within the cube, make a top-down budget adjustment, using a spread formula to apply the change to Customer and Item budgets.
- Use Info-Explorer’s write-back feature to update both the Sage 300 GL budget and the Optional Tables detailed budget fields.
