Indexation
To apply indexation, go to the Other Income and Expenditure view. The increase can be entered at a higher level or per consolidation. The indexation column is only visible when the Year filter matches the budgeting period (academic year or financial year). The % icon is only displayed if the values can be edited in the main screen or via budget lines.
To apply indexation to a ledger, click the % icon next to it. A new view will open, where you can:
Clear indexation: Specify whether you want to remove the indexation for one or more years. Select the years and click Clear.
Note: Clearing the indexation percentage does not remove the values from the multi-year budget.Enter indexation: Enter the desired indexation percentage for the selected general ledger account. To carry forward the previous year’s values, enter 0%.

Indexation can only be applied based on academic years or financial years, a combination of both is not possible.

Higher Level
You can apply indexation at a higher level. This will update all underlying, editable general ledger accounts in Other Income and Expenditure. Accounts linked to a module (Funding or Staff) cannot be indexed this way.
When a higher-level indexation is added, it is first calculated downwards to lower levels and then rolled up again to the higher level.
Example:
In the example below, indexation of 1% was added for 2026 at hierarchy level A1 - Other DfE Grants - Standard Funds.
You will see:
Underlying accounts that can be indexed are shown in green, including the applied percentage.
Accounts without a visible percentage are linked to a module and are filled/calculated via the relevant input screens (Funding, Staffing, or Investments).
In the multi-year budget, the calculation is made as follows:
Budget 2025/2026 = 1.01 × Forecast 2024/2025
The indexation is slightly higher per ledger because it cannot be applied to all ledgers.
Editability
Once indexation is applied, you can no longer edit the main view or its related budget lines for the affected year(s). For example, if indexation is set for 2026, the relevant account for that year becomes non-editable. This also applies to months and academic years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027.
Empty indexation
When clearing indexation, keep the following in mind:
The existing values are not changed.
Future-year budgets will no longer be updated automatically based on the cleared indexation.
Cells in the main view become editable again.
Budget approval / Copying Other income & expenditure
Approving the budget will clear the indexation for that year.
Copying Other Income and Expenses will clear the indexation for the year you are copying to.
Note: You can also copy by entering an indexation percentage of 0%.
