Structuring Budgets with Breakdown Points in OS/

Updated over 7 months ago

In OS/, budgets can be effectively organized by using breakdown points. These help keep items within the budget structured and clear. The ability to nest breakdown points provides additional flexibility and clarity in budget planning.

Create Breakdown Points

To create a new breakdown point, use the "New Section" option, which you can find under the budget or in the context menu. This allows you to clearly structure your budget.


Nesting Breakdown Points

Breakdown points can be moved and nested into other breakdown points through simple drag-and-drop. This is particularly useful for creating a hierarchical structure in your budget, making complex budgets easier to navigate and manage.

Duplicating and Customizing Breakdown Points

Breakdown points can be duplicated, which simplifies the creation of similar budget sections. Additionally, it is possible to deactivate breakdown points or mark them as optional. The options contained in the calculation positions within them are not lost!


Using breakdown points in OS/ makes budget creation and management more organized and efficient. By creating, nesting, and customizing breakdown points, even complex budget structures can be easily managed and tailored to specific needs.
