Airport Authority Budget Planning Implementation
The Company
Public airport authority managing commercial aviation facilities with complex capital projects, operating budgets, and federal grant funding.
What Needed To Be Done
The airport authority required implementation of advanced budgeting capabilities in Dynamics 365 Finance to support multi-year capital improvement planning, departmental operating budgets, and grant-funded project tracking. The solution needed to incorporate budget hierarchies reflecting organizational structure and funding sources, enable budget planning workflows with multiple approval levels, support scenario modeling for revenue projections and expense planning, and provide budget versus actual reporting for board presentations and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant compliance.
How Dynatuners Delivered
Dynatuners implemented the Budget Planning module configuring organizational hierarchies that reflected the airport departmental structure including operations, maintenance, public safety, administration, and capital projects. Budget planning processes were established for annual operating budgets and multi-year capital plans with separate workflows for each. Custom budget plan scenarios were configured enabling finance teams to model optimistic, baseline, and conservative revenue projections based on passenger traffic forecasts and concession revenue trends. Allocation rules were developed to distribute shared costs such as utilities and security expenses across departments using appropriate allocation bases. Integration with the Project module enabled capital project budgets to flow into budget plans with phased funding schedules aligned with grant disbursements and construction milestones. The team configured budget control to enforce spending limits at the department and project level with real-time budget checking during purchase requisition and purchase order processing. Custom Power BI reports were developed showing budget versus actual variance analysis by fund type.
