This screen has two areas:

1. Timeline:
   This area is where you will manage all financial plans for your farm business.  There are three types of plans available each year, Working, Baseline and Draft.

2. Archive:
   If you don’t want to delete certain Draft plans, i.e. you may want to use one down the track, you can archive them instead.

   
   

   Working Plan

   Farm Focus simplifies planning and budgeting with the Working Plan, your go-to budget tool for tracking progress throughout the year.

   Your Working Plan includes:

   • Cashflow: Track dollar values.

   • Livestock Grid: Monitor stock quantities.

   • Dairy Forecaster: Focus on this season's milk production

   This is the plan you’ll revise and re-forecast throughout the year, as actual and planned transactions combine to become a living plan. 

   There is one Working Plan for each financial year and it is automatically created for you as each financial year begins.  All you have to do is put in planned transactions.

     Baseline Plan

     Your Baseline is a locked copy of your Working plan. You may want to save a Baseline when you send a copy to your bank manager, or before updating your Working plan. 

     Once you have moved a plan into Baseline it becomes read-only and the planned transactions within it can’t be modified.

     • Delete plan
       ​NOTE: If you have multiple baseline plans, your option will be Manage Baselines, you can then choose which baseline you would like to delete.
