How do I print a budget position report?

Updated on

Go to Reports > Financial Reports

As part of a monthly review, make sure your numbers are within a reasonable range.  As of June, expect the budget to be 50% used.  Are there any expense items over 75% or 100% used?  Are there any lagging revenue items under 25%?  Ask questions like these help identify items that may be applied to the wrong expense BARS code or overspent revenue expectations.
