How does the budget category code settings work in Trade Simple
-
Hi @Simon Madders
The budget category functionality allows you to utilise supplier budgets in a slightly different way. With the traditional budget files you specify an amount that a unit is allowed to spend with a single supplier during a financial period. The Budget Category code allows you to bundle suppliers together and apply a consolidated budget amount to all of them.
For example, if I only want my unit to spend £1k per month on food but I have 3 food suppliers I would load a category budget of £1k against the category FOOD and then add the category code of FOOD to all my food suppliers, that way any purchases made from any of my 3 food suppliers would deplete from my overall £1K Food budget.
The category budget load file is the same format as the supplier budget load, but in place of the supplier code you would add your category codes.
I hope that helps,
