Budget management

This screen allows you to manually create and modify forecast budgets for a company. A budget represents all the expense and revenue targets of a company over the long term. It is defined by fiscal year (usually a calendar year), and with a given periodicity (weekly, monthly, quarterly, as desired).

The Budget follow-up screen allows you to follow the differences between your budget and your transactions (realized and forecast).

Import a treasury budget 

You can import into Iziago budgets exported from Excel or from your ERP in CSV format.

What is the CSV format ?

The CSV format allows you to transfer table data from a program (Excel, ERP) to another program (in this case Iziago). When you save a CSV format file, the data is automatically structured using a separator character (usually a semicolon or tab) that marks the end of a cell and the beginning of the cell that follows.

If you are using an Excel file, you must convert it to a .csv file to make it compatible with Iziago:

  1. In your Excel file, click on Save As.
  2. In the Save as type drop-down list, select CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv).
  3. Click on Save.

Your file is now ready to be imported into Iziago.
