2. INTRODUCTION
 Budget management is a very important thing in any business organization. Using the budget,
we can analyze the performance of our company by comparing the actual amount we spent and
the planned expenditure.

3. How to configure budget in Odoo?

4. 1. Enable Budget Management
 Go to Accounting → Configuration → Settings
Tick the ‘Budget Management’ feature. ‘Analytic accounting’ feature will be enabled
automatically while doing this.

5.  By enabling the budget management feature, you will get three new menu items as
marked in picture.

7. 2.Set Budgetary Positions
 Go to Accounting → Configuration → Management → Budgetary Positions
 Here we can define accounts linked to the budget.

8.  Next step is set Budget.
3.Set Budget
 Go to Accounting → Adviser → Budgets
 Create a budget

9.  Note: In the Budget line, the field Analytical account is set as not mandatory by Odoo. But for the
proper working of Budget 'Analytic account' is mandatory. So, don't forget to put the Analytical account
in the Budget lines.
 You can create a new analytic account or select an existing analytical account from the budget lines.

10.  Then confirm the budget.
 Once you confirm, the budget report is created. To check the budget

11.  Go to Accounting → Reports → Management → Budgets

12.  There you can check the fields, Planned Amount, Practical Amount and Theoretical Amount
 Planned Amount : The amount that you have planned for that budget.
 Practical Amount : How much amount you have spent in that budget.
 Theoretical Amount: It represents the money you theoretically could have spent / should have
received till the date. For example, your budget is 24000 for 12 months (January to December), and
today is 31 of January, then the theoretical amount will be 2000.
 Now we can check the effect of the budget report after creating some journal entries. For that, I am
creating a Purchase Receipt.

13.  Then check the budget report again

14.  There you can check the field values. The Practical amount is changed to -100. This comes
from the purchase receipt.

15. This is how Budget is managed in Odoo.
