10 Financial Management

The Financial Management module is a powerful tool that allows you to achieve the following:
        Build Budgets for high-level study cost tracking or negotiation
        Track receivable and payable items using Milestones (also known as “financial achievement triggers”)
        Generate invoices
        Track sent and received payments
        Reconcile payments against milestones or invoices
 
Within Financial Management, there are three core components that work together to manage a study’s financial tasks:
        Budgets
        Milestones (financial achievement triggers)
        Invoicing, Payments, and Reconciliation
 
The following graphic illustrates the relationship between budgets, milestones (financial achievement triggers), invoicing, payments, and reconciliation.
 
This section will cover the Financial Management recommended process, and detail how permissioned users can create and modify a budget or budget template, configure and manage milestones, prepare invoices, enter payments, and reconcile those payments against invoices and milestones.
