Module 3: Configure and Use Budget Planning Processes
With budget planning functionality you can consolidate multiple budget plans from a lower level into a single parent budget plan at a higher level in the organization. This is called bottom up approach budget planning which allows a budget planner to aggregate other plans into a high level or corporate plan for budgeting. You can also take the top down approach which requires developing a single budget plan at a higher level of the organization and allocate the budget to lower levels of the organization. Use this method when you rely on historical financial transactions of your company and create a centralized plan which can be allocated throughout different operating units defined by an organization hierarchy with Budget planning purpose. The budget planner as a final step of the budget planning, generates the budget register entry based on budget plan. An organization can configure budget planning, and then set up budget planning collaborative processes to meet its policies, procedures, and requirements for budget preparation. This topic explains how to configure and test Budget planning processes.

Module 8: Configure the Electronic Reporting Framework
Generic Electronic Reporting (GER) or simply Electronic Reporting (ER) is a configurable tool for regulatory reporting, payments and electronic invoicing.

ER currently supports the TEXT, XML, PDF, Microsoft Word document, and OPENXML worksheet formats. However, an extension interface provides support for additional formats.
