The Financials tab allows you to define the classes and accounts used to group and track payments and refunds made within Projects, For example, when a payment is made for renting heavy machinery, it is classed under Operations and linked to a Heavy Machinery account.
Within Enquire, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is used to refer to a payment’s class (e.g. Operations) and General Ledger (Gl) Account is used to refer to the account (e.g. Heavy Machinery).
The Financials tab also allows you to setup funding categories used within Rounds and Projects to indicate how funds are allocated. Your organisation may allocate a certain amount of funding for a Round for infrastructure and administration costs. These categories can then be used to categorise a project’s budget or cost line items.
A Work Breakdown Structure is used as a way of grouping financials by class, cost centre, department or program. For example you may need to group payments and refunds under Operations, Land Care or Business Management Unit.
