Budget lines

The table on this tab displays the budget lines of the opened budget structure and its properties.

Table (in edit mode)

Click on the arrow symbol (hmtoggle_arrow0/hmtoggle_arrow1) to expand or collapse elements. If you click on Edit the table also offers the following functions:

NewBudgetLine

Create new budget line

Creates a new budget line at the level you previously clicked on. New budget lines are always added at the end of the list of the level.

NewBudgetLineSub

Create new budget line at the next lower budget level

Creates a new budget line below the level you previously clicked on. New budget lines are always added at the end of the list of the level.

Delete

Deleting

Deletes the budget line you previously clicked on. All subordinate budget lines are also deleted.

This function can only be applied to budget lines that have not yet been released. Once you have released the budget structure, you can only delete changes to it that have not yet been released.

Collapse

Collapse all elements

Collapses all elements so that the table only shows the top level.

Expand

Expand all elements

Expands the entire budget structure with all budget lines.

Enter the following information to create budget lines:

Budget line code

Define a code for the selected element of the budget structure. The available length is defined in the properties of the budget structure and depends on the level.

Budget line

Enter a name for the budget line.

NOTE: Enter the name in all relevant languages. The name in the base language of your organisation is a mandatory field. Depending on the set user language, these translations will be shown in all the fields and reports.

Postable

Specify whether postings in WINPACCS Accounting and WINPACCS Cashbook can be assigned to this budget line.

For example, you can block a budget line if the budget has been used up. If you deactivate the setting, the budget line is no longer available in WINPACCS Accounting and WINPACCS Cashbook.

The setting has no effect on Project controlling. All budget lines can always be assigned in Project controlling.

Unit of quantity

If monitoring of quantities is activated for this budget structure, use the checkbox here to specify whether quantities can be entered on this budget line in addition to amounts. In this case, also select a unit. The units of measure available are defined in the Project controlling organisational settings.

Restriction on accounts

Here you assign main accounts to the budget lines to which they should be linked. You can select any number of accounts per budget line. Only linked budget lines can be selected in postings to these accounts in WINPACCS Accounting and WINPACCS Cashbook. This restriction helps to meet specific donor requirements or reduce combinations of accounts and budget lines that are incorrect content-wise.

NOTE: The field is only displayed if the Restriction on accounts setting is activated for the budget structure in the properties.

Functions

The following functions refer to the opened budget structure.

Print

Print

Creates a PDF document that displays the budget structure with all its budget lines and properties.

Edit

Edit

Switches to the edit mode. Note: not all properties can be changed once the budget structure has been published. The reason is: postings may already exist that are based on these settings.

Delete

Deleting

If a budget structure was created by mistake, you can still delete it as long as it has the status New.

Archive

Archive

Once a budget structure has been released, it can no longer be deleted. If you no longer need the budget structure, for example because it contains errors, you can archive it. It is then no longer available in WINPACCS Accounting, WINPACCS Cashbook and Project controlling.

Archiving a budget structure has no impact on postings that have already been uploaded in a closing to WINPACCS Cloud. For assigned postings that have not yet been uploaded, WINPACCS Accounting prompts the user to adjust the postings. Only then can the next closing be performed.

Reactivate

Reactivate

Reactivates the archived budget structure. It is again available for postings.

Release

Release

Releases all the changes to the budget structure and changes its status to Released. If you reactivate a budget structure, you must also release it afterwards.

NOTE: Publish the project to make changes available to budget structures in WINPACCS Accounting and WINPACCS Cashbook.

Undo

Reset

Undoes all changes that have not yet been released.

Save

Save

Saves the changes. To apply the changes, you must release the budget structure. To transfer the changes to WINPACCS Accounting and WINPACCS Cashbook, you also need to publish the project.

Release

Save and release

Saves the changes and releases the budget structure.

NOTE: Publish the project to make changes available to budget structures in WINPACCS Accounting and WINPACCS Cashbook.

Cancel

Cancel

Switches to the display mode without saving changes.
