Budget Information on Financials

Financial statements are made up of rows, defined in Financial Statement

Maintenance, and columns, defined by the statement’s format. Many of the formats in

ClubConnect® General Ledger include budget columns. To see budgets on a financial

statement, be sure to print/view that statement using a format that includes budget

columns.

Assign Budget Versions to the Financials

Before budget information is included on a financial report, it must be assigned to the

financial reports. This is a quick, easy process and can be changed any time.

Assigning a Budget Version to the Financials

1. From the menu bar, select Options, Master Files, Budgeting, and then select

Lock in Final Budget Version.

The Lock in Budget Version for Financials windows appears

2. Click the Budget Year up and down arrows to select a year.

3. From the Final Version drop-down list, select the budget version to appear on

the financial reports.

NOTE: This is not necessarily a final decision and does not lock in anything

you cannot change at any time.

4. To assign the selected budget version for the selected year, click Save.

A dialog box appears.

5. Click OK.

6. To close the dialog box, click the Close button.

Select Budget Formats for Financials

Default formats are assigned to each financial report when they are created in

Financial Statement Maintenance. Those default assignments can be changed at any

time, or the default format can be overridden when financial reports are printed. By

selecting an alternative format when printing financial reports, the financials print

using the alternative format columns. The default format is available for the next

printing. Only financial reports assigned a format with budget columns display budget

information.

Changing the Default Format for a Financial Report

Statements.

The Financial Statement Maintenance window appears.

Ratios

In ClubConnect® General Ledger, the Ratio function allows you to include a

percentage comparison analysis among accounts and/or subtotals in a report.

Examples of typical comparisons include:

Cost of goods sold expressed as a percentage of total sales

A revenue source as a percentage of total sales

Employee benefits as a percentage of total payroll

Ratios are always presented as a percentage of a base, or reference amount, totaling

100%. Multiple sources can be combined to make up the 100%. You can place ratios

on as many financial statement Detail and Total lines as desired.

Ratio File Maintenance

Use the Ratio File Maintenance feature to establish ratios and assign base accounts.

Adding Ratio Files

The Ratio Maintenance window appears.

total—the 100% line.

total line for the ratio.

The G/L account numbers and descriptions appear in the grid as they are added.

Statements. Click the toolbar lookup icon to select a financial statement.

To preview the actual report, click the Print toolbar button and then click

Preview.

Include all accounts that feed to the total line representing the 100% on the

statement. For example, for a ratio based on total sales, all accounts feeding to

the Total Sales line should be included.

Memo Accounts

Memo Accounts are used to add valuable statistics to your financial reports. The

statistics can be accumulated or averaged and follow the selected financial format.

There are three types of memo accounts:

Memo Whole—used to accumulate or average whole number (zero decimal)

statistics, such as golf rounds, meal counts, or guest counts.

Memo Currency—used to accumulate or average currency (two decimal)

statistics, such as average price per meal, average price per golf round, or

average price per tennis lesson.

Memo Ratio—used to accumulate or average ratio (one decimal) statistics,

such as percentage of cost of goods sold to total sales, percentage of food

revenue to total revenue, or percentage of employee benefits to total payroll.

In your Chart of Accounts, memo accounts are unique in that they are not assigned

ALICE codes. Each period, before printing financial statements, figures are entered

through one-sided journal entries; the batch does not net debits against credits to zero

like regular or allocation accounts.

Create Memo Accounts

You can add memo accounts directly to the Chart of Accounts.

Adding a Memo Account

1. From the menu bar, select Options, Master Files, and then select Chart Of

Accounts.

There are two options available when adding new accounts to the Chart of Accounts.

Insert key – when a specific account line is selected and the Insert key is

used, the new account is automatically added to all the financial statements

containing the selected account.

If the selected account is maintained on its own report line in an existing

financial statement, then a new report line will be added for the new account

being assigned. If the selected account is maintained with other accounts on a

report line in an existing financial statement, then the new account will also be

included in that existing report line.

A blank line is added and the report information appears.


16


Add button – when the Add button is used, a new account is created, but it is

not automatically added to any existing financial statements. You must add

this account to the appropriate financial statements manually.

A blank line is added at the bottom of the list.

2. To add a new account, click Add or select a line and press the Insert key.

3. From the Type drop-down list, select the appropriate memo account type.
