Features
Customized Budget Categories
Create your own customized budget categories by the company or cost center. Define your own customized list of G/L accounts per category. In case you have too many categories and a large number of G/L accounts for each, you can upload them via an excel template.

Monitor and review revisions to the budgets
After the budgets are defined, any additions or subtractions to the budgeted amounts need to go through a well defined revision process. It has a built in approval process, with the option to attach relevant emails and documents. This helps with the audit as you can track the changes.

Associate each purchase with a Budget
This solution allows the budget entry to be associated with each purchase document (shopping cart, purchase order or supplier invoice) at the line item level. This allows fine grained control of every purchase in the organization.
