📘 Screen: Budget - Detailed Planning
This is where the budget leaves the registers and becomes a plan: you pick an area and say which matrices it will receive during the season — burndown, planting, applications, harvest.
It's step A in the menu, and the most time-consuming one in the module. It's also the step that gives the cost per hectare of each block of area.

🧩 How the screen works
It's numbered, and the numbering is the step-by-step. At the top are the Scenario dropdown and the Save button.
1 - Select a field
The list on the left shows the scenario's areas, with Crop, Field, Area, Sector and the Detailed Planning column, which shows what has already been planned there. Click the area that will receive the matrices.
2 - Available matrices
On the right are the scenario's matrices, as a tree: the matrix on the top line and, when you expand it, its components, with Component quantity, % Use, Total Qty and Unit. The + button on the line adds the matrix to the selected area.
3 - Matrices added to the field
Below is what has already been applied to that area, with the Remove, Move up and Move down buttons — the order matters because it reflects the sequence of operations in the season.
Next to the title is the Replace month-by-month field planning checkbox: when it's on, a change made here also redoes that area's monthly breakdown instead of keeping the existing one.
- Each budget area has the list of operations it will receive.
- Planned consumption of each component is already calculated per area.
- The next step — spreading it over the calendar — starts from something ready.
❓ Frequently asked questions
I added the matrix to the wrong area. How do I undo it?
Select the area, find the matrix in block 3 - Matrices added to the field and use Remove. Then just save.
Why does the order of the matrices matter?
It reflects the sequence of operations in the season — burndown, planting, applications, harvest. Use Move up and Move down to set it; that's what makes the plan read in line with the crop calendar.
What does the "Replace month-by-month field planning" option do?
It has that area's monthly breakdown redone from what was just planned. When it's off, whatever was already spread across the months is kept.
The list of available matrices is empty.
Matrices are per scenario: check the Scenario dropdown at the top and, if needed, register them first in Matrix.
