Employees Sub-Budget

The Employee sub-budget contains a line for each employee who is associated with a department in the main budget. You can manipulate employees in the Employees sub-budget to simulate changes in the department's headcount.

This sub-budget is only available if one of the lines of the associated main budget is of the type Employee. Otherwise, you cannot directly budget on employee income or expenses on the main budget. You cannot create the Employee sub-budget on the budget template; it is automatically created on main budgets when you create those from the template.

The Employee sub-budget contains a line for each employee who is associated with the department of the main budget. You can automatically fetch and copy all employees associated with the department into this sub-budget and also create, modify, and delete employees to simulate changes in the department's headcount. On the budget template, departments and employees are linked using dimensions. Note that any change done to (or deletion of) employees in this sub-budget does not change or delete the "original" employee in Maconomy. All changes only affect the budget employee in the budget module.

The lines on this sub-budget are configured in a tree structure, where any root line (a line that has no parent line) is of type Employee and represents a single employee. The Employee line can have a number of subordinate lines of types Sum, Calculation, Manual, or Salary.

All subordinate lines of the Employee line on the main budget are automatically copied onto the Employees sub-budget for each employee that you create. If, for example, the employee line on the main budget has one subordinate line, such as a Salary line, all employees created on the Employees sub-budget will have one subordinate Salary line.

When you make a change on a line in this sub-budget, the corresponding line on the main budget is updated accordingly.
