Features
ZeBud comes with three
samples representing a non-profit organization, a governmental
entity, and a manufacturing company. These samples are complete with
sample data including departments and accounts. The purpose of the
samples is to allow a new user to experiment with the program and
data to determine how the program can be best used and to experiment
with different program features without attempting a complete setup
of the user's own data.
Key
Features Include:
- Three levels of
accounts (general ledger accounts roll-up into financial statement
reporting accounts which roll-up into ledgers.)
- Two
levels of department hierarchy (sub-departments roll-up into
reporting departments or
divisions.)

Turnkey
setup and data file configuration with your chart of accounts and
departments is available for you, all without the expense of
travel to your site. Our primary discipline is accounting. We do
this all the time. We can understand your problems. Let us do what
we do best so you can do what you do best, managing your
organization. Once your data file is initially configured, you can
easily make minor changes such as adding items to the chart of
accounts or adding departments. We're available for support along
the way or after the fact. Let us do the heavy lifting so you can
concentrate on rapidly deploying the budget system for your
users.

Multiple
entries and notes to budget entries are permitted for any GL
account. We believe sound budgeting principles should encourage
this technique. Some systems may only look for or allow a single
budget entry per GL account. With that limitation, budget detail
for review and approval would be
severely limited. showme-03 Enter/Edit Input Video

Pre-load
initial blank entries into the budget to avoid manual entry, and
to avoid overlooking budget entries for any given general ledger
item. From the user's standpoint, they only need to "fill-in-the
blanks."

Import
YTD Actuals, Prior Year Actuals, or a Forecast for
reporting comparison. showme-07a Import/Compare Video
Clip Create a forecast of current year actual
from current YTD actuals. This extrapolated forecast can then be
selectively edited down to the GL level to precisely fine-tune
your current year forecast. showme-07b Edit Forecast Video
Clip Alternatively, create an updated annual forecast
monthly by combining future months budgets with completed
months actuals for a rolling forecast. showme-07c Forecast Video

Establish
target budgets by department and ledger. Reports show comparison
of targets to entries made to date by departments. Users can see
target in real time as they add
input.

Issue
user passwords by department so users can only make entries to
their respective department budget. Restrict entries by department
on your schedule to selectively limit the timing of on-going
budget entries. showme-06b Depts/Input Restrict Video

Dozens
of reports with many variations and filters are available. You may
develop additional custom reports by linking to the Microsoft
Access data tables. However, we believe the large number of
standard reports makes this unnecessary.
