Enter Budget Drivers

Explanation

Budget drivers are used to support the planning process. Drivers can be of two main categories, one that acts as a true driver in the calculation logic, i.e. headcount, square feet, no. of order etc, and another that serves more as a factor, i.e. social charges, that is used in the calculation logic in MS Excel or other external tools. Factors can be planned in one central template to be used by all templates. It is also possible to indicate if values for drivers should be aggregated or not.
