Periodic Budget Report

The Periodic Budget report displays data on a periodic basis in the same layout as your budget tree. Data is displayed by period, by quarter, or by year. This report can also be used to compare current totals to previous years.

Key Information

The Periodic Budget Report summarizes revenue and expenses by profit center so that you can evaluate your division/department's performance without viewing all the details. You can view budget amounts and/or percentages. The amounts you see are period totals for all total lines and calculated lines. The percentages represent the percent of line for each total line (not calculated lines) as they were configured.
This report generates summaries, but not detailed information, of your budget. For example, this report will show rooms revenue totals but will not show the detail lines that create the rooms revenue total. All totals are listed by dollars or percentages. This report displays total lines and calculated lines only.
This report mimics the budget tree structure, and prints the summary lines and detail items for each profit center. Depending on the configuration, this may be a long report.

Note: When you run for options that contain more than one set of totals (i.e. amounts and percentages), periods 1-6 are on the first set of pages, and periods 7-12 plus a total column are on the second set of pages. If run for only one option all 12 periods fit on one page.
