    Budget models allow you to maintain more than one set of budget data.  For example, you might have a starting budget model generated early in the year that is pure budget forecast, and then you might have another budget model generated later in the year that is a combination of actual performance to date and revised budget forecast.

    Budget models can be assigned to multiple budget register entries.  The later when doing actual vs budget comparisons, you can switch between different budget models and between different sets of budget register entries by proxy.

    They can also contain sub-models.

    They don't "do" much, and are more a form of grouping and identification associated with budget register entries.

    Hi Febriani Vira,

    In addition to what Brandon mentioned please have a look at the following site for some additional information: technet.microsoft.com/.../hh242705.aspx

    If you think how to setup your budget models please also consider how you want to report on them e.g. through Management Reporter. As an example, if you setup annual budget models such as FY2015, FY2016, etc. and if you are using Management Reporter for your actual budget comparisons you might have to change the setup of your row/column structures every year!

    Hope this helps,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig,

    I currently have this issue, with annual budgets that require a new report with different budget links set up each year.  If you called a budget something generic like 'Operations', how do you then manage the budget process when setting a new 'operations' each year.  Do you use the same budget model then 'for ever', adding budget register entries each year to the same model?  

    regards,

    AXF

    "If you are using Management Reporter for your actual budget comparisons you might have to change the setup of your row/column structures"

    For the same reason, use the same budget model code for each company in the database.
