When accessing this section for the first time, a screen for configuring the budget will be displayed. In the Budget type field, select the desired option:
Simple: Allows configuring the total values for the fixed costs and revenues and the resources. In the Start and End fields in the Period section, it is possible to enter the date range that composes the budget period.
Detailed: Allows configuring the values for the fixed costs and revenues and the resources, according to the defined period. To do that, in the Period section, enter the start and end dates of the budget period and select its type: monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, four-month-period, biannual and yearly. If, later on, the period type is edited, the system will readjust the budget values according to the selected period.

At this point, the main panel will display the fields to fill out the budget values according to the previously performed type configuration:
▪Simple: The fields to enter the total values budgeted for the fixed revenues and the resources, as well as the fixed costs and the project resources, will be displayed. If in the Configurations Project Finance section the option to classify the costs in capital and operational is checked, it will be possible to enter the total values for the costs of the capital and operational types and those without classification. ▪Detailed: The fields to enter the total values budgeted for the fixed revenues and the resources, as well as the fixed costs and the resources, will be displayed, divided according to the period type configured. If the option to classify the costs in capital and operational is checked in the Configurations section, the system will display sub-groupers to show the total values for the costs of the capital and operational types and those without classification. To enter a cost/revenue, click on the icon next to each grouper and, on the screen that will open, locate and select the cost/revenue type that will classify the value and save the selection. Select as many cost/revenue types as desired. The defined types will be displayed below the cost and revenue grouper in the budget structure. Enter, in the enabled fields, the values budgeted for each cost/revenue type within the displayed period. Click on the icon next to each cost/revenue type to remove it from the budget structure. To enter the cost and revenue values regarding the resources, simply fill out the available fields with the desired values.
