Manage the procurement process effectively using budget planning and execution

The Budget Control solution allows you to create and manage budgets for all your purchasing processes in SAP Business ByDesign. This will allow an organization to plan the expenditure by year, month and quarter, and monitor the availability of the funds for a project or operations.

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.

Reporting & Analytics with the G/L

After the procurement documents have been posted to the G/L, this add-on ensures each relevant line item is tagged with the budget category (or budget master entry) to allow reporting between the G/L and Budget Categories.
