What is scenario?
A scenario could be defined as a description of a possible set of events that might reasonably take place. The primary purpose of developing scenarios is to stimulate thinking about possible occurrences, assumptions relating these occurrences, possible opportunities and risks, and courses of action.
Scenario management – A diagrammatic Understanding
Scenario management in accounting world
It is a management tool that enables different displays of accounts and inventory related information, by selectively including certain types of vouchers without affecting the source data. Managing scenarios is useful in generating provisional reports, where entries are not actually made in the main books. It is also a useful forecasting tool i.e. we can forecast the expenses using provisional Vouchers and include them in your reports.
The following vouchers used in Scenario Management are:
- Optional Vouchers
- Memorandum Vouchers
- Reversing Journals
