    Reporting - Budgets by tracking category to integrate with master overall budget

    Basically makes the Budget tools worthless without this.Other softwares have it.

    School's are required to submit Balance Sheet budgets under the Education Act, therefore the ability to populate these into Xero would great assist compliance and reporting.

    Lack of a budget option for balance sheet accounts is disappointingly limiting and will lead us to look elsewhere.

    I've heard yawning is contagious. If we all yawn enough eventually xero will grow tired and just get it done

    If you want to manage to cash (not P&L), this is critical. We have regular large CapEx spend items that suck the life out of our cash budgeting (and it often comes in different schedules than originally budgeted, etc...).

    Why can't we see a cash view which after all is THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of managing a small business. Not P&L which is an accounting view - nice and all, but won't stop you failing.

    a budget set up in Xero is not complete if it does not show how the balance sheet is impacted/forecasted

  • Saurabh Jain commented  ·   ·  Report

    The budgeting process cannot be complete if you cannot do it for Capital Expenditure. This is an important feature which Xero must have.

  • Maree Jackson commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please amend your budget set up to enable us to select all accounts from the chart of accounts, Balance Sheet & Profit & Loss Account, to be included in the Budgets. At the present time Xero only allows for P & L Accounts. This is therefore not a true budget for the business & true forecasting cannot be carried out. Loan payments & asset purchases must be able to be forecast & included in the budgets.
