Uploading Sales Budgets & Wage % Targets within Labour Productivity

Before starting this process, please request that all Locations required for Sales and Wage budget uploads have been created within People System and have EPOS ID’s set up within Labour Productivity. 


Important Points:

• Ensure that the values are changed to 2 decimal places and that there are no blank columns
• The current date format should be YYYY-MM-DD. However, this does change sometimes within the system, this will be highlighted and the correct format will be presented
• Number format needs to be 2 decimal places (i.e £2345.00 Sales Budgets and 23.45( %) for wage targets )
• Each column must have a 0 if there is no data to be entered
• Numbers only must be entered 
• The Value Type column must be blank

 
Within Labour Productivity, ensure that the Daily Sales Split has been entered before Weekly Sales budgets are loaded.
 

• To do so, go to Settings > expand the Budget Breakdown Percentages menu
