Your report will look like this; Your budget, commitment, Actual and Balance. Budget – Commitment – Actual = Balance Budget is how much you plan, Commitment is how much you set aside for any particular item(s) you plan to buy, Actual is the actual expenditure you have incurred and Balance is the budget left over for you to spend

If you want to see a budget report of all departments ( # is not consecutive # ), you will need to type in each cost center manually. It is cumbersome that you need to type every cost center each time you want to retrieve the same report. This demonstration shows you how to customize your own criteria so you dont need to type each individual cost center every time. However, you DO need to change Fiscal Year if you are in a different fiscal year This method works best only if your fund # does not change every fiscal year. So lets get started. After filling out all cost centers. Click on the execute clock. Next slide
