Dynamic budgets make it possible to plan a budget automatically in relation to another budget.
The relationship is entered as a percentage. Example: if non-wage labor costs are a flat 30% of salary costs, the value 30% is entered.
If the salary budget changes, the budget for non-wage labor costs adjusts automatically.
This function can also be used for other relationships, e.g. material expenses in relation to revenue.
Please note: inflows have a positive value, outflows a negative value. For non-wage labor costs, +30% is therefore entered, since the salary payments used as the base are already negative amounts.
Steps:
In the Create budget dialog (side panel), enable the option Dynamic
Enter a name for the budget
Select the base category
Enter the percentage for the relation
If available, a suggested value calculated from past data can be applied by clicking Use
