HCL Marketing Operations User's Guide
HCL® Marketing Operations is a tool for enterprise planning, collaboration, and workflow that provides a complete solution for the needs of marketers. You can use Marketing Operations to get a comprehensive and holistic view of all marketing projects across your company.
Budgets
In HCL® Marketing Operations, a budget coordinates expenses of plans, programs, and projects. After you establish the plan budget, you can fund linked programs, and ultimately projects, from it. Marketing Operations tracks budgets of child programs and projects in the form of allocations, forecasted or committed spending, and actual expenses.
The Plan Budget tab
The Plan Budget tab displays information about the entire budget and allocations to child programs.
Program Costs table
The Program Costs table is under the Plan Budget Summary table on the Budget tab for plans. The table rows list programs by area. The columns provide figures for Actual, Committed, Forecast, and Allocated spending.

Program Costs table

The Program Costs table is under the Plan Budget Summary table on the Budget tab for plans. The table rows list programs by area. The columns provide figures for Actual, Committed, Forecast, and Allocated spending.

On the plan Budget tab, the program costs table shows only programs, without breaking them down into their respective projects. However, even though you do not see the project expenses directly, HCL® Marketing Operations accounts for them through their parent programs.

The program name in each row of the Program Costs table provides a direct link to the budget for that program. This link is helpful because the program Budget tab provides a breakdown of its child-project expenses in the corresponding Project Costs table.

Note: The Budget tabs for programs and projects also include Costs tables that detail expenses for their respective child objects with the same layout and information.
