Use this form to create, maintain, manage, and view the whole planning process. This form is the central navigation form for all your work regarding the flexible budget.

NoteWhen you create a new plan, you must select a budget model and specify a posting year. You can create only one flexible budget per posting year and budget model. The transaction years correspond to the Periods of the Ledger account section. A period must have been created before, but it does not need to be open. If you need more than one plan per year, you must create several budget models.
