EBC for Microsoft Dynamics AX
The budget model
The central element in the module is the
model. A number of definitions connected to
the model, determine how to handle the
budget, also which actions to perform in the
budget process. I.e. budget period: opening
and closing dates, budget type (main
budget/forecast) and etc. When forecasts are
proceeded, EBC automatically combines
actual and budget figures.
Methods
Starting from the budget procedure a well
known method is used: extrapolation of actual
figures for a period. Budget figures in an EBC
budget model are calculated by projecting
actual figures from various periods. That will
make seasonal variation have impact on
budget figures.
Factors
When calculating budget figures in EBC, you
are able to define that actual figures
extrapolates with supplementary of one or
several different factors:
Overall factor for a period
Factor for a dimension
Factor for a ledger account
Factor for numbers for item groups
Factor for sale Prices
Factor for sold units
Factor for debtors./debtor groups
Ledger budget
Ledger budget is based on the chart of
accounts already defined in the system.
By enabling budgets on
department/centre/purpose, it is possible to
define for which ledger accounts budget
figures may be calculated. In Dynamics AX
budgets in foreign currency are possible.

100% interface
EBC budget is designed for turning the budget
procedure into a less time-consuming, wellarranged and better documented process.
Allocation rules can be defined, i.e. budget
figures calculated on one specific account are
calculated as 12.5% of the budget from
another specified account.
Sales budget
Sales budget can be calculated on debtors
and/or on items.
Sales budget on items may be calculated on
itemgroup level or on item level.
Sales budget on debtors may be calculated
on debtor group level, all debtors in a group
on debtor level, on selected debtors only or
on selected debtors + remaining debtors in a
group in a lump.
Rules are defined individually on each
itemgroup and debtorgroups.
Balance budget
Based on user defined definitions, a complete
balance budget is generated by the system,
including cash flow analysis.
.
Excel interface
Ledger budget and sales budget can be
exported to Excel spread sheets. Budget
figures can be edited in the spreadsheets and
afterwards imported to Dynamics Ax.
If sales budget is used, the system will
automatically disable manual budgeting on
ledger accounts used for turnover and item
costs.
The layout of the spreadsheets is made
presentable in order to be used for
presentation on board meetings etc.
