Budgets

Build the year's budget and track actuals against it.

Finance → Budgets keeps your school's budget in Trivium: income and expense lines, what you budgeted, and what actually happened.

  1. Open Finance → Budgets and choose New budget. Give it a Name and optional Fiscal year, then Create budget.
  2. Add line items — each with its Type (income or expense) and the Budgeted amount. Group them under headings to get subtotals.
  3. Through the year, enter each line's Actual. Variance shows how far each line is over or under.
A budget sheet — budgeted, actual and variance by line.
A budget sheet — budgeted, actual and variance by line.

Actuals are typed in, not pulled from invoices. Edit budgets on a computer — on a phone the sheet is read-only. With Ask Triv, ask "how are we tracking against budget?" for a summary.
