Bottom up budgets are used to provide Account Executives with their revenue goals.
Top Down budgets are designed to allow Managers, and corporate users, the ability to set Budget goals outside of those meant for Account Executives.
If your market goal is different from what’s been assigned to your sales staff, create a Top Down Budget template focused on adjusting the overall Budget numbers for each salesperson.
When running reports and/or within the Sales Outlook pod (Bird’s Eye View page) , you have the option to choose between Top Down or Bottom Up in order to view how your team is doing.
The following screen shots illustrate where these options are located:

NOTE: Budget totals in a Top Down template are not pushed to the Account Executives.
