Martus: Special Purpose Worsheets

What is an SPW?

An SPW is essentially a worksheet beside—or in addition to—the main budget worksheet for a given organization, created to handle specific, special-purpose budgeting tasks (for example, event budgeting, conference cost allocation, multi-department cost distribution).Its purpose is to capture the detail behind budget line items, record assumptions or drivers, and then post the results (via the SPW) into the main budget worksheets.

• There are three types:
  1. Worksheet-specific SPW (WSPW) – tied to a single worksheet.
  2. Global SPW (GSPW) – applies across multiple worksheets and can allocate amounts across departments/lines.
  3. SPW Template (SPWT) – a template used by admin users that can be imported into WSPWs for consistency.
