[0043] Specifically, this invention provides a complete budget control and rolling calculation method. The comprehensive budget product meets the application requirements of enterprise group management and control, providing a complete enterprise budget system solution. It offers enterprises a complete budget management solution from budget target setting to lower-level budget submission, budget data reporting and approval, multi-version data management, budget adjustment, execution monitoring, and multi-dimensional budget analysis. It provides budget preparation via both Excel and web clients, supporting a complete budget preparation process. Multi-dimensional models, budget execution, and budget control applications have been optimized according to customer needs.

[0044] Currently, the budget product solution is divided into four main parts:

[0045] 1. Budget System Creation Platform: This platform allows users to build a multi-dimensional budget system that supports group management and control. It can meet the application requirements of centralized management groups as well as the personalized budget system requirements of each subsidiary.

[0046] 2. Budget preparation process management platform and full-process support for budget preparation: Enables process management of budget preparation and monitors the budget preparation process of subordinates; supports the entire budget preparation process from the issuance of group budget targets, subordinate budget submission, budget data reporting, budget data approval, data aggregation, and budget data adjustment; supports the budget submission process that involves multiple rounds of submission.

[0047] 3. Budget Analysis and Execution Monitoring Platform: Provides execution monitoring functions, can obtain execution data from business data, and perform budget control on business systems; supports multi-dimensional budget analysis, and provides task analysis and ad-hoc analysis.

[0048] 4. Provide an Excel application for budget form design and analysis; for data entry, reporting, and aggregation; and for budget approval.

[0049] This invention can meet the application requirements of enterprise group management and control, and provides a complete enterprise budget system solution. It provides enterprises with a complete budget management solution from budget target setting to lower-level budget filling, budget data reporting and approval, multi-version data management, budget adjustment, execution monitoring and multi-dimensional budget analysis. The overall architecture is shown in Table 1 below:

[0050] Table 1

[0051]

[0052] Basic Data Layer: Basic data forms the data foundation of the budget management system, and its key components include:

[0053] Organizational modeling is the foundation of all enterprise management, and this invention provides a multi-system organizational modeling implementation method. Through layered and multi-dimensional organizational design, it supports budget preparation, execution, and monitoring in different business scenarios.

[0054] Multiple systems in parallel: Supports the establishment of multiple budget organization systems within the same group (such as by business segment, region or project). Each system can independently set up hierarchical relationships to meet the needs of differentiated analysis.

[0055] Organizational Relevance: The budget organization can be linked with the HR organization, finance organization, accounting entity, and budget item to ensure data consistency.

[0056] 1. Basic Data:

[0057] Basic data forms the underlying support for budget preparation. Master data such as accounting subjects and products / projects constitute the classification framework for budget preparation, ensuring that the budget granularity matches business needs and providing a basis for budget data calculation.

[0058] This solution incorporates project experience and pre-sets basic budget data to meet the needs of general industries.

[0059] Customer Profile: This profile records detailed basic customer information. It allows for targeted cost and revenue budget design based on customer value segmentation. Through precise allocation of budget resources, it maximizes cost-effectiveness in key areas such as customer acquisition, retention, and value enhancement, achieving the company's business objectives. For example, if a customer is a large ship manufacturer with a pronounced cyclical nature (because the shipping industry fluctuates in five-year cycles, manufacturers are affected by these fluctuations), a targeted annual budget can be designed, increasing budget allocation during peak periods and monitoring revenue indicators in real time for precise targeting. The model includes the following basic information: customer code; customer name; affiliated organization; basic customer classification; unified social credit code; and customer attributes.

[0060] b. Supplier Profile: This profile details the supplier's basic information. Strategic suppliers establish a deep strategic collaborative relationship with enterprises. Strategic suppliers provide irreplaceable core resources (such as proprietary technologies and key components), while the enterprise becomes the supplier's core customer, forming a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit. For example, a mobile phone manufacturer relies on customized chips from a strategic supplier, and 70% of the supplier's revenue comes from this customer. Targeted cost and revenue budgets can be designed around strategic suppliers, enabling dynamic management of the supplier through budget management. The model includes the following basic information: supplier code; supplier name; affiliated organization; basic supplier classification; unified social credit code; supplier attributes.

[0061] c. Project File: The object of a project within the system. Projects permeate all aspects of enterprise operations, and using projects as a fundamental dimension of budget management is a common management approach. Controlling project costs, revenues, profits, and timelines within the budget is the most common control method. The model includes the following basic information: Project Code; Project Name; Project Organization; Project Manager; Project Status; Project Initiation Date; Planned Start Date; Planned Completion Date; Actual Start Date; Actual Completion Date; Parent Project; Project Amount; Version Number.

[0062] d. Contract File: The object of a contract within the system. Contracts permeate all aspects of business operations, and budget management of contracts is a common management method. Controlling contract costs, revenues, profits, and cycles within the budget is the most common control method. The model includes the following basic information: Contract Name; Contract Code; Version Number; Company; Contract Signing Date; Planned Effective Date; Planned Termination Date; Actual Effective Date; Actual Termination Date; Client; Counterparty; Department; Contract Amount; Amount Received; Contract Status

[0063] e-bank account: The account is the foundation and center of corporate fund management, and is also a commonly used analytical dimension in budget management; account classification; affiliated organization; account name; account number; whether it is an internal account; account opening date; payment and receipt attributes; account status; account opening unit.

[0064] Material Records: These are digital records used by enterprises in their ERP systems to standardize the management of various materials (such as raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products). Typical application scenarios include: Procurement Management: storing supplier qualifications, purchase contracts, and other documents to support compliance audits and budget management; Inventory Control: achieving precise location through a coding system; after implementation, one manufacturing company reduced its material error rate by 25%; Cost Accounting: integrating with the financial system to automatically synchronize purchase prices and accounting prices. The model includes the following basic information: material code; material name; organization; specifications; model; material category; unit price.

[0065] Accounting Subjects: Accounting subjects are standardized tools used by enterprises to classify and summarize financial information. A systematic subject system enables the recording and accounting of economic transactions. The mapping between accounting subjects and budget subjects achieves a closed loop of budgeting, execution, and feedback. Subject Code; Subject Name; Subject Type; Subject Direction; Subject Attributes.

[0066] h. Revenue and Expense Items: Revenue and expense items are standardized management units in ERP systems for recording a company's cash flow, covering all operating cash inflows and outflows. Their core value lies in achieving traceability of financial data. These include: Main business revenue: income from the sale of goods / services (such as payments for goods and services, service fees); Other business revenue: asset disposal, rental income, etc.; Non-operating income: government subsidies, fines, etc.; Direct costs; Tax expenses; Period expenses, etc.

[0067] iCustom profiles: Enterprises have their own flexible business dimensions, such as production lines and workshops for manufacturing enterprises, and product categories and SKUs for e-commerce retail enterprises. Depending on management needs, there may be business lines and sectors. Custom profiles are provided for enterprises to create and maintain according to their own needs and are used for budget management.

[0068] 2. Basic Settings:

[0069] Budget Dimensions: These are the core framework for classifying, analyzing, and controlling budget data in enterprise budget management. Their design directly impacts the precision and efficiency of budgeting. Dimensions establish a coordinate system for the indicators that need to be controlled in budget management. For example, if an enterprise needs to manage the budget for departmental revenue and costs, it can establish departments and accounts as budget dimensions. This allows each income and expenditure item to be assigned to the corresponding department or account, forming structured data for budget management.

[0070] In addition, budget management also uses organizational structure, time, version, etc., which are also treated as a dimension for modeling and management in this solution. For example, a set of dimensions is shown in Table 2.

[0071] Table 2

[0072]

[0073] b. Application Model: Enterprise operations involve multiple budget management standards and systems. Application models achieve the corresponding budget model by aggregating dimensions. Form Management: Budget forms are standardized form systems used in enterprise budget management. Through structured forms, strategic goals are transformed into actionable financial plans. Each form references an application model and includes multiple required budget dimensions.

[0074] The profit calculation table uses subject dimensions, business segment dimensions, and auxiliary dimensions to construct a structured model of the budget figures through multiple dimensions.

[0075] c. Control strategy: Budget control is achieved by using control strategies to perform budget checks on specified system behaviors.

[0076] d. Control Rules: Control rules are key to achieving flexible budget control. This solution uses the FIND model (the FIND algorithm is a general algorithm in computer science used to find specific elements in data structures; its core function is to locate the target value through linear search) to flexibly set budget control rules.

[0077] For example: In the budget sheet "Operating Revenue Budget Sheet", Department A's main business cost is set at 1 million. The budget management algorithm model for a certain support item is as follows:

[0078] Budget amount = FIND (Target: "Operating Revenue Budget Sheet", Subject Dimension: Main Business Cost, Organization Dimension: Department A, Time Dimension: First Quarter), that is, the budget amount is 1 million.

[0079] Actual amount = FIND(Target: Expense document, Dimension: Main business cost, Organizational dimension: Department A, Time dimension: First quarter). If the amount of this expenditure is 1.1 million, then the budget is not met and the expenditure is not allowed.

[0080] Flexible budget control can be achieved by setting control rules for each budget sheet.

[0081] Zero Budget Rule: The zero budget rule is a control rule that is not dependent on the application model. It means that if the plan is not effective, all budget indicators are controlled as 0 for budget execution or pre-allocation. For example: the budget table only plans a budget of 1 million for organization A. If organization B cannot find the budget indicator through FIND during business operations, it is considered to have a 0 budget and will be subject to strict control or warning prompts as set.

[0082] f. Budget preparation and analysis: Budget preparation, which involves entering the company's budget data into the budget preparation form.

[0083] 1.1 Fixed Table:

[0084] A fixed budgeting form refers to a fixed format or template used in the budgeting process to standardize the entry and display of budget data. It is based on the fixed budgeting method (also known as static budgeting), which determines the budget figure based on a fixed business volume (such as production or sales) within the budget period. This method is suitable for scenarios with relatively stable business volumes.

[0085] Main uses include: supporting the preparation of budget tables and breakdown tables; standardizing the entry and display of budget data; providing a unified budget preparation framework; facilitating the comparison and analysis of budget data; common templates and formats; fixed budget preparation tables have various templates and formats, common types are shown in Table 3:

[0086] Table 3

[0087]

[0088] Multidimensional floating tables: Multidimensional floating tables are a dynamic report format used in budget preparation. In contrast to fixed tables, their key feature is the ability to dynamically adjust the number of rows or columns based on actual business needs. Multidimensional floating tables are built upon a multidimensional model, enabling flexible data display and analysis through dimension combinations.

[0089] Key features:

[0090] Dynamic adjustment: Rows / columns can be automatically added or removed according to the actual business volume, which is suitable for scenarios where the data volume is not fixed;

[0091] Multidimensional analysis capabilities: Supports data analysis and visualization from multiple dimensions such as time, organization, and subject;

[0092] Formula calculation function: Supports multi-dimensional formula calculation, but formula settings are not supported for floating text lines;

[0093] Data correlation: It can establish data correlation with fixed tables to achieve a comprehensive display of budget data;

[0094] System integration: It is usually deeply integrated with the budget management system, supporting approval processes and budget control.

[0095] Application scenarios: Transaction details table: suitable for scenarios where the amount of transaction data varies each period; Project budget table: suitable for budget preparation when the number of projects changes dynamically; Department expense table: suitable for situations where department expense items may increase or decrease; Multidimensional analysis table: suitable for scenarios that require analysis of budget data from multiple dimensions; Dynamic reports: suitable for scenarios that require automatic adjustment of report structure based on business changes.

[0096] 1.2 Rolling Forecast Table

[0097] A rolling budget is a dynamic budget management tool whose core feature is maintaining a fixed time window (e.g., 12 months) and continuously optimizing the budget through regular updates (usually monthly or quarterly). Unlike traditional static annual budgets, rolling budgets continuously update forward over time, always maintaining budget coverage for a certain future period. This is a key outcome of this solution; core features include: dynamic update mechanism: automatically rolling forward monthly or quarterly to maintain the continuity of the budget window; flexible forecasting period: typically using a 12 / 18 / 24-month rolling cycle; data-driven: budget adjustments based on historical data and current business performance; scenario planning: supporting multi-scenario simulation analysis; and real-time: providing the latest dynamic business view.

[0098] The differences from traditional budget sheets are shown in Table 4.

[0099] Table 4

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] Preparation Methods and Implementation Steps: Determine the forecast range: Select a 12 / 18 / 24-month budget window based on the business cycle; Build a data model: Integrate historical financial and operational data; Set the update frequency: Usually update monthly or quarterly; Select key indicators: Focus on core profit indicators such as EBITDA; Scenario analysis: Build a multi-scenario budget model; Initial budget: Complete the initial 12-month budget preparation; Continuous updates: Update on a rolling basis according to the planned cycle.

[0103] Application scenarios: Rapidly changing industries: such as technology, retail and other fields with volatile market environments; Expense management: dynamically adjust the expense budgets of each department; Funding planning: continuously update funding demand forecasts; Project budgeting: adapt to dynamic changes in the number of projects; Strategic planning: support the dynamic adjustment of long-term strategic goals.

[0104] Routine execution:

[0105] Daily budget execution is a crucial aspect of budget management, involving budget implementation, dynamic monitoring, and problem correction, directly impacting the efficiency of fund utilization and the achievement of corporate strategic goals. The following are key points and practical methods: Precise resource allocation: Ensure funds flow to key business operations according to the budget plan, avoiding overspending or idle funds; Real-time risk control: Intercept irregular expenditures through dynamic monitoring to ensure fund security; Strategic goal alignment: Link budget execution with corporate strategy to avoid "budget-execution disconnect"; Handling execution deviations: High-frequency issues require tiered and categorized rectification, and the results are linked to performance evaluation; Establish a flexible adjustment mechanism to allow for dynamic optimization of the budget within a reasonable range; Improve execution efficiency: Reduce approval redundancy through process standardization (e.g., automated approval workflows); Strengthen training for budget management personnel to cultivate a "rigid yet flexible" execution culture.

[0106] Budget adjustments: Budget adjustments are a part of routine operations and include direct adjustments, partial adjustments, and transfers. Direct adjustments involve directly increasing or decreasing the budget amount; partial adjustments involve adjusting multiple dimensions within a single budget set, while keeping the total amount unchanged; transfers involve adjusting the budget amount between multiple budget organizations.

[0107] Budget Approval and Submission: Budget Submission: After the budget is prepared, click Submit. Once submitted successfully, the data cannot be modified. Budget Summary: This is the process of collecting and summarizing the budgets of subordinate units and departments to form the overall budget. Budget Approval: This is the process of approving the budget preparation results.

[0108] Top-down budget submission: According to the method, it is divided into: The top-down budget preparation method is a preparation method that decomposes budget targets from the top level of the enterprise to the grassroots level.

[0109] Key features: Goal-oriented: Senior management directly determines overall financial goals based on strategic planning; Hierarchical decomposition: Overall goals are broken down to each department and business unit; Strong control: Emphasis is placed on the execution and control of budget targets.

[0110] Implementation process, such as Figure 2 As shown: Goal setting: The board of directors / management sets the overall financial goals of the enterprise; Departmental breakdown: The finance department breaks down the goals to each business department; Grassroots execution: Each department prepares a specific budget plan based on the broken-down goals; Summary and balancing: The finance department summarizes the budgets of each department and adjusts the balance; Applicable scenarios: Budget control of branches by the headquarters of a group company; Budget management of strategically oriented companies; Industry environments that require rapid decision-making.

[0111] In this scheme, budget preparation management is achieved through budget tasks. The general office issues budget preparation tasks, which are then distributed layer by layer to the final departments. After the department budget officer completes the preparation of the department's budget, the data is automatically summarized.

[0112] Bottom-up budgeting: Bottom-up budgeting is a budgeting method that starts from the grassroots unit and aggregates budgets level by level, in contrast to the top-down approach.

[0113] Key features: Grassroots-led: Initial budgets are prepared by the departments / employees who are most familiar with the business details; Hierarchical aggregation: Budgets are aggregated from project / department budgets to the overall company budget; Data-driven: Based on detailed work breakdown structures (WBS) and cost estimates.

[0114] Implementation process, such as Figure 3 As shown: Task breakdown: The project is broken down into specific, estimable work packages; Grassroots preparation: Each responsibility center prepares a detailed budget plan; Summary and review: The finance department summarizes and coordinates the budget; Approval and finalization: Senior management approves the final budget plan.

[0115] Applicable scenarios: innovative projects or new product development; enterprises with high business complexity; projects requiring precise cost control.

[0116] This solution achieves bottom-up budget preparation through budget approval, reporting, and aggregation. After the person in charge prepares the budget form, they submit the task to the workflow. The department head receives the task and approves it, or returns it. If approved, it is forwarded to the finance department for approval or return. If approved, it is submitted to senior management for approval. Once senior management approves it, the workflow data is published, and the data in the system cannot be modified.

[0117] Rolling budget: Rolling budget preparation is a budget management method. It is based on the company's strategic goals, sets the budget period at one month, and at the end of each month, adjusts and updates the budget for the next budget cycle (usually one month) and the subsequent months based on the actual operating situation of that month and the forecast of changes in the future market environment.

[0118] Budgeting principles: Continuity principle: Emphasizing the consistency of the budget. Monthly budget adjustments are not isolated, but rather based on previous budgets, with reasonable continuations and revisions made according to new information.

[0119] The principle of detailed planning for the near term and broad planning for the long term: For near-term budgets (usually 1-3 months), the budget should be detailed and specific, including the exact amounts of each income and expenditure item. For longer-term budgets (4-12 months), it can be relatively rough, such as only determining the general range of income and major expenditure items. The principle of dynamism: The budget should be adjusted promptly based on dynamic factors such as market conditions and changes in internal operations.

[0120] In this solution, the control rules executed daily have the ability to obtain actual data in real time. By obtaining actual data and placing historical actual data and current budget data in the same table, the difference between historical actual data and current budget data is compared and calculated, and the difference is rolled into the budget data of the next period, thus realizing the management of rolling budget.

[0121] In summary, this invention, constructed using the above technologies, allows for annual rolling budgets to only roll forward to the end of the current year. For example, if it is already March, the actual operating results for the first two months have already been generated; the only requirement is to predict the operating situation for the next ten months. Multi-year rolling budgets are generally three-year or five-year rolling budgets, but managers can also design the forward rolling period themselves. A 12-month rolling budget rolls forward 12 months, meaning it predicts the operating situation up to February of the following year. Rolling on a weekly basis effectively supplements monthly rolling budgets. For example, one week before the start of a month, the forecast for the entire next month's operating situation begins, and then the forecast is adjusted weekly until the last week of the month. After four to five rounds of forecasting, the forecast result in the last week should be almost identical to the financial report for that month.

[0122] Therefore, this invention provides a complete budget control and rolling calculation method. The comprehensive budget product meets the application requirements of enterprise group management and provides a complete enterprise budget system solution. It offers enterprises a complete budget management solution from budget target setting to lower-level budget submission, budget data reporting and approval, multi-version data management, budget adjustment, execution monitoring, and multi-dimensional budget analysis. It provides budget preparation via both Excel and web clients, supporting a complete budget preparation process. Multi-dimensional models, budget execution, and budget control applications have been optimized according to customer needs.
