Corporate planningand budgeting
A budget that sits in a spreadsheet never intervenes. In fabular the plan lives where the postings happen: budgets are planned by cost centre and cost type, purchase orders are checked against them, and the variance is visible while something can still be changed.

Planning that reaches day-to-day work
Overall budget and detailed planning
The annual budget is maintained as a whole or refined by cost centre, cost type and product group. Existing plans can be carried over from a template instead of being entered again.
Budget check in purchasing
If the planned budget for a cost centre and cost type is not sufficient, the check fails at the purchase order. Instead of an overrun, a reallocation request is raised – traceable and subject to approval.
Scenarios side by side
Planning figures are held per scenario. A completed scenario can be locked so that the basis of a decision is still the same later on.
Budget relevance is configurable
Not every cost type should be checked. Each cost type carries a setting for whether it enters the budget check – with no exceptions maintained in program code.
Plan against actual
The variance comes from the same postings that produce the year-end close. No second set of figures, no reconciliation at month end.
Connected to demand planning
Budgeting is linked to demand planning. What is planned in quantities is available to procurement as well.
