After you have imported and/or entered your actuals, you will generate the flex budget.

Terms and Definitions

Term	Description
Division/Department/Job	Specify a specific division, department or job to be used for the flex budget. By default, all divisions, departments and jobs are included. If you know that the changes you made only affect a certain division, department and/or job, by specifying the division, department and/or job you can save time.
Standard Set	(Visible only if you have configured multiple standard sets) Allows you to select the standard set that you want to be used in the flex budget. Standards reflect the job standards that are associated with a job. You may only have one Standard Set (Master) or you may have several Standard Sets which are created when working with "What if..." scenarios. If you only have one standard set, this option will not be visible.
Year	Designate which year's data you want to use. The default is the current working dataset year.
Re-Calculate All Periods	Re-calculate all periods rather than designating a Start Period and an End Period. This option is selected by default.
Start Period/End Period	Define the period of time that you want the flex budget to cover.
