Division of Mental Health Services and its funded contract Provider Agencies . This is actually a second-generation product, with the original Budget/R .O .E . Matrix having been developed in 1985 as a Lotus 1-2-3 application.  \nThe purpose of the DMHS Budget Matrix software – both the original Lotus 1-2-3 product and now the revised Excel product – is the same, as follows:  \na) to provide a standard software format to DMHS staff and all contract provider agency staff for saving, storing, easily retrieving, and printing important budget and expenditure data; and,  \nb) to automate some of the routine, but fairly extensive, calculations that are performed by DMHS staff and provider agency staff, to enable full budget line-by-line variance (change) reports to be created, which greatly facilitates the planning and monitoring aspects of our contract budget responsibilities.  \nThe normal budget format employed by the N .J . Department of Human Services'  Contract Reimbursement Manual has been adapted for use in the Excel Budget Matrix by the Division of Mental Health Services (DMHS), with customized budget templates and schedulesand a menu system which allows for easy movement, data entry, and user commands . The Excel Budget Matrix program actually operates in four (4) separate worksheets in the same file (workbook) . The user will develop an initial Budget; update the budget with Modifications; issue quarterly Reports of Expenditure/Income (R .O .E .s); and then compare the variances between Budget and Modification, or Budget and ROE, for further analysis. Although this program is designed to be user-friendly, a working knowledge of the Microsoft Excel software program is necessary .  \nThe Division of Mental Health Services is one of several operating divisions of the N .J . Department of Human Services . The DMHS Contract Administration Unit is responsible for the negotiation, processing, analysis, and monitoring of service contracts with a large network of community mental health agencies. In 1984, Les Foster, a DMHS Contract Administrator, developed the Budget Matrix program in order simplify the considerable analytical work associated with contract budgets . With assistance from Rex  \nO'Neal, Dan Knox and others, the Budget Matrix was adapted for general use by DMHS and its community service agencies.  \nThe 1985 version of the Budget Matrix was an application of LOTUS 1-2-3 Version 1a, and it included two separate files (MTRX2 .2 and SCHD2 .2) on a single 360k diskette. The Budget Matrix program required some patience and dedication to learn, but it soon proved to be a major advancement, in both time and accuracy, over the handwritten and typed budget forms . The Budget Matrix was widely distributed to DMHS contract agencies; computer equipment and training ","cbCaivpz4j20c8Hj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivpz4j20c8Hj","pdf",130242,28,"English","# Introduction and Background\n## Purpose of the Excel Budget Matrix\n## Program background and development history\n## How the workbook is structured and used","[{\"question\":\"What is the Excel Budget Matrix used for?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a standardized way to store, retrieve, and print budget and expenditure data and to automate calculations for line-by-line variance reports.\"},{\"question\":\"Which workflow does the workbook support?\",\"answer\":\"Users develop an initial budget, update it with modifications, issue quarterly reports of expenditure/income, and then compare variances for further analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"Why was the program revised from the original Lotus version to Excel?\",\"answer\":\"Hardware and software advancements, including the shift from Lotus to Microsoft Excel and DOS to Windows, enabled enhanced features and incorporated feedback from users.\"}]","THE EXCEL BUDGET MATRIX - Software Application - User Manual | PDF",1789192357]
