Yardi’s Budgeting and Forecasting module (B&F) allows agile financial planning using actual, real-time data to forecast future performance
Yardi Budgeting and Forecasting allows agile financial planning using actual, real-time data to forecast future performance. Enter specific market leasing assumptions to create custom projections or to compare the impact of multiple potential scenarios. Custom fields and formulas allow you to predict future performance in different market conditions.
Initial back-end setup and configuration needed to successfully implement Yardi Budgeting and Forecasting includes:
Budget Worksheets are the primary analytic tool in the system unique to Yardi’s Budgeting and Forecasting module. Like other Yardi reports, data can be imported via Excel spreadsheet, outputs are exportable, and access to worksheets can be controlled by setting up view/edit permissions specific to the Budgeting and Forecasting module. Here is a short list of ways you might use a Budget Worksheet:
Additionally, budgets are lockable and unlockable, so that unauthorized users cannot make changes to or delete worksheets.
Budget model templates can be used in Yardi’s Budgeting and Forecasting module to apply specialized formulas to specific accounts on your Budget Worksheets. Standard formulas are preloaded into the system, but you have the option to add more formulas as needed. It is important to note that editing of templates requires basic SQL knowledge.
Yardi’s Budgeting and Formatting module is built to give an in-depth assessment of a property’s performance. Market Leasing Assumptions give you the ability to choose specific parameters/conditions (like vacancy, etc) to predict future financial performance. This module is recommended for an owner/manager who is looking to acquire more properties. Quickly test what-if scenarios directly in Yardi instead of exporting data into Excel and inputting formulas there. Plus, budget worksheets are saved directly in the system, so they can be collaborative.
