The budget year
When spend starts again at zero, how Financial year starts works, and what counts as spent.
Spend in Flexshop counts per budget year. When a new budget year starts, every group's spend starts again at zero.
Set when the year starts
- Open SHOPBudgets & groups. On the right is the card How the year works.
- Under Financial year starts, choose the month. Save appears only when you change it.
- Press Save. "Saved. Every group now counts from the new start."
"Changing it moves every group to the new year at once. Decisions already made stay as they were." A new workspace starts in January.
What counts as spent
- Spend is the total of the approved requests submitted since the year began. The card says it in full: "This budget year began on {start}. Spend counts the approved requests submitted since then and starts again at zero on {next}."
- Requests still waiting for approval are not spent, but the employee's budget view counts them as committed.
- A second-hand device the employee buys with Buy it never touches the budget.
- The line total is a snapshot from when the request was sent. A later price change does not change spend.
When the year turns
A budget year turns at 00:00 UTC on the first day of the chosen month, which is 01:00 Danish winter time. A request sent at 00:30 Danish time on 1 January still counts in the old year.
