Nine surefire steps to devising the perfect financial plan
Only LucaNet is this simple
- Use planning data levels to put together clear visualizations of your planning variations.
- You can set up any number of planning data levels for budgets, forecasts, and scenarios and then juxtapose them in comparison views.
- It’s also possible to define any planning period you wish.
- A wizard is also available for the planning of (intercompany) loans.
- All the data relating to a loan (amount, repayment, interest, charges, etc.) can be entered in a clearly arranged format.
- All accounting entries resulting from the loan are calculated and posted automatically.
- You will receive a transparent overview that covers the entire loan term (and not only the current planning period).
- The balance sheet and cash flow statement used for planning are fully automated on the basis of payment modalities and accounting rules and are derived from the planning (expenses, income and capital expenditure) in real time.
- Accounting rules are the centerpiece of the integrated financial planning in LucaNet.
- All accounting rules can easily be retrieved and adopted in all subsequent planning processes.
- The drill-down function is also available throughout the planning process, from the group and company levels to cost centers and the underlying planning documents. You can use it starting from any structure, as well – including direct liquidity planning.
- In addition, you can add comments or descriptions to any planning, and it's easy to upload files in a variety of formats (e-mail, PDF, Excel, etc.).
- The different planning variations (budgets, forecasts, scenarios) can be compared and analyzed in freely configurable display modes.
- Difference columns with sparklines, a traffic light function, and a commenting function are also available.
- You can add a comment to each individual value or difference.
