Councils can customize eBudde to streamline the financial recording of the cookie sale. There are several ways to accomplish this.
Option 1
Monies turned into the council can be keyed in. Council would designate the appropriate banking institution(s) as well as which levels of users will be able to enter in the information.Option 2
Councils that have deposit slips micro-coded with the troop number can import that information into the system. Council would download the information from the bank, review and reformat the information and import into eBudde. The system allows for multiple imports so this can be done on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.Option 3
Councils that use the Automated Clearing House to debit/credit council and/or troop accounts now have the information they need to accomplish this automation. eBudde collects the troop banking information and will print out an Excel report with troop banking and financial information. This spreadsheet can be used to inform the Automated Clearing House with amounts to be debited/credited. In addition, the information sent back from the Automated Clearing House can then be imported back into eBudde to record the transfer.
In addition to all these options, eBudde allows for verification of deposits against the bank statement. This can assist in balancing especially when keyed in as stated in option 1. The verification can be automated as part of option 2 and 3.
Banking, deposit and financial reporting is available for all levels in eBudde – council, service unit and troops in a variety of reports and formats. Sorting and filtering options are also available.
