This article describes controls and columns on the Advanced Budgeting page of R365’s Budgets feature. The Advanced Budgeting page is used to view and edit budgets. Users with the required permissions enabled can perform a variety of budget-related tasks from this page, including locking and unlocking budgets, entering sales data, and reviewing profits by period. Budget Parameters can be adjusted here as needed.
