Entering the budget

You type the budget per ledger group and month on the budget grid page. Next year's budget starts from this one with a percentage.

Type amounts per month​

  1. Open Budgets > Budget grid.
  2. Under Enter the budget, choose the budget, for example 2027: Budget 2027.
  3. Type an amount in euros in a month cell, for example 206000 in January for Personeel.
  4. Press Enter. The amount is saved and the cell below gets the focus.

Arrow up and arrow down move between rows. Arrow left and arrow right move between months when the cursor is at the edge of the amount. A cell also saves when you leave it.

A row that comes from contracts, recurring items, a projection or a scenario is read-only. It names where its amounts come from. Change those amounts where they are made.

A closed budget is read-only.

When someone else changed the amount​

Two people can type in the same budget. When the amount changed after you opened the budget, your save is refused. The message names the other amount, and the grid reloads with it.

Spread a year over the months​

  1. Choose Spread over months on the row.
  2. Type the yearly amount, for example 2472000.
  3. Choose Spread.

Each month gets an equal share. December takes the rounding difference, so the months always add up to the yearly amount.

See several years​

On Budgets > Budget grid, the section Multi-year budget shows each ledger group with its total per fiscal year, from this year up to four years ahead. Only years with an annual budget are shown.

Start next year​

  1. In the section Multi-year budget, choose the budget to start from under Start from.
  2. Type the change in percent, for example 3.
  3. Choose Start next year.

Shillinq creates a draft budget for the next fiscal year. It copies the typed amounts of each ledger group, raised by the percentage. Rows from contracts, projections or scenarios are not copied: those are made again for the new year. For example, Personeel at EUR 2,400,000 in 2026 becomes EUR 2,472,000 in 2027 at 3 percent.

A year that already has a budget is refused.

Budget amendments (government)​

Open Government > Budget amendments to record a begrotingswijziging with its number, reason, amounts and council resolution. Attach the council letter under Files. Choose Determine once the council resolution is entered. History shows who determined it and when.

The multi-year estimate (meerjarenraming) and the multi-year budget lines have their own pages under Government.
