Disk No  520  BUDGETRAK  Version 1.21   (DISK 2 of 2)                v3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
BUDGETRAK is an excellent Encumbrance accounting package that would be of
interest to people working in the department of a large company who have a
desire to track their own budget and expenses more closely than possible
using the general information generally contained in a central accounting
system. Encumbrance accounting tracks obligations and planned expenses
rather than actual expenses. This is the second of a two disk set.
 
This package differs from a more standard accounting system in that when an
expense is anticipated, the estimated amount or encumbrance is entered. The
entry is reflected in the remaining budget. When the actual expense is
known, it is entered and the encumbrance amount and budget are updated.
This gives a more accurate picture, for budgeting purposes, than waiting to
record an actual expense.
 
The system will handle both single and double entry systems and also
produce a 12 month spreadsheet. Five balances are maintained: Budget,
Variance, Encumbrance, YTD Variance and Actual. The coding reflects the
program's intelligent design: 2 digit company code, 7 digit sub department
and a 6 digit account code. It can handle up to 999 master records and up
to 12000 transactions per month. The package has a password system and
comes with a set of utility programs and good documentation. A high
capacity floppy drive or a hard disk is recommended for this package.
