Import a Hot Budget .xlsb workbook.
Budgeting
Hot Budget is a spreadsheet-based budgeting tool built on Excel, widely used for commercials and other short-form production. Saturation imports a Hot Budget workbook directly: drop the .xlsb file into your workspace and Saturation reads the Cost Summary and page detail into a new budget.
What imports
- Budget: your Hot Budget workbook becomes a new Saturation budget, with every line brought across.
- Structure: each Cost Summary section is mapped to an account, so the shape of your budget survives the move.
How the import works
- Open your Hot Budget workbook (the .xlsb file).
- No export step is needed. Drop the .xlsb itself into Saturation.
- Saturation maps each Cost Summary section to an account and brings across every line.
Accepted file type: the Hot Budget .xlsb workbook.
Who it is for
Teams that build budgets in Hot Budget and want to run the production in Saturation: track actuals, raise purchase orders, and report against the same lines they bid, without rebuilding the budget by hand.
