Management of statement / archive and comparison

Introduction - difference between statement and archive

Statements provide a snapshot of your budget at a given moment in time. All the information copied cannot be modified. Statements can be used in financial Dashboard Finance/ Flash reports suivi. They are generally used at the beginning ("Initial budget"), revision ("Statement 04"; "Statement 09"...) and end of the Fiscal year ("Landing"). They are very often linked to the various stages of budget revision, in order to quantify the forecasts/revisions made/validated...

Archives are identical to Statements, except that they do not interfere with your financial reports. They allow you to create a baseline and are useful before carrying out certain mass operations (major updates or budget extensions, for example).
