Setting up an Advanced Budget

Adding Another Dissection Line on a Work Sheet

The budgeting process in Cashbook Plus is based on the completion of various sections that build on each other to produce a complete budget for a farming enterprise.

These sections are:
  • Enterprises - an enterprise is a component of a farm business. For example, a farm may include a cattle enterprise and a sheep enterprise. This section is used to set up trading and gross margin details for required enterprises.
    • Crop Enterprises with Trading Account - Trading details including production, sales, stock on hand, and direct costs.
    • Livestock Enterprises with Trading Account - Trading details including natural increase, purchases, sales, losses, stock on hand, and direct costs.
    • Other Enterprise with no Trading Account - eg, where there is no breeding or stock on hand activity, income or direct costs.
  • Farm Income and Overheads - sundry farm income and expenses that are not part of any enterprise.
  • Capital - capital receipts & expenditure, such as loans received and paid, plant sales and purchases, etc.
  • Proprietor Funds - receipts and payments relating to proprietorship, such as advances from personal funds, owner's drawings and personal superannuation contributions.
  • Off-Farm Income and Expenses - income and expenses relating to off-farm investments and non-farming activities.
