Yarken Planning Process

YäRKEN Planning process involves defining budgets for a specific period and allocating funds to different cost centers, accounts , and vendors.

Budget Process Owners and Cost Centre Budget owners can collaborate together to create a budget for the organisation and then use the budget as baseline for actuals in the new financial year.


  • Create a Budget

    Budget Process Owners can create a budget using multiple strategies, such as importing a budget file or creating a budget line by line. This allows you to define planned expenses and allocate costs efficiently. The budget must include an Expense Type, Cost Center Code, and Account Code as mandatory fields.

  • Collaborate to finalize the Budget

    Cost Center Budget Owners can work closely with the Budget Process Owner to finalize the budget for a cost center by working on a single source of truth copy of the budget and using the commenting feature to keep each other informed.

  • Manage the Budget Workflow

    Budget Process Owners have full control of the budgeting process and can send the budget to cost center owners to collaborate with them.

  • Approve the Budget

    Budget Process Owner can review the submitted budgets from the Cost Center Owners and approve the overall budget.

  • Publish the Budget

    Publishing a budget makes it available for tracking, and reporting. Once a budget is created, reviewed, and approved, it must be published to finalize the allocations. A Budget Process Owner can publish an approved budget and make it available as a baseline for variance calculations of planned and actual spend.
