There are several steps to creating a Quick Budget.
This article covers the first stage in the process, which is to create a ‘blank’ Quick Budget before you can enter any data.
Note: You can create as many Quick Budgets as you need.
To create a blank Quick Budget:
- At the Home Page, click Budget
- Click Quick Budget
- Click New Quick Budget
- Enter a Title for your budget e.g. Quick Budget Mar 16 to Feb 17
- Select the First Month of your budget e.g. March 2016
- Select the Period of your new budget e.g. 1 Year, 2 Years (up to 5 Years)
- In the BAS Options, select Options 1 & 2 (recommended)

Click the green tick. A blank budget spreadsheet will be displayed
You are now ready to enter data into your Quick Budget.
