As mentioned before by other participants, Strategic Budgeting and planning is done on the start or a major overhaul of the business.

Otherwise Sales budget is made first and other budgets follow it.

Considering the amount of information provided in the question, I would agree with all those who said: sales budget,  because budgets are made based on the strategies formulated to achieve the vision or mission of the organization. So, sales budget would be the first one to be made.

Before preparing a budget for your business, I surgest the Strategic(A) should come first since the strategic budget gives varieties of means in achieving goals. it also make plans for managing it resources and also planning how to assign resources to each prgrammed area.

Later on the sales Budget will also counts which is to forecast production requirement, estimate earnings and also set departmental goals.

Then the purchases Budget which allows the business owner to determine how much money and goal are needed to reach desired goals.

Lastly the Cash Budget to estimates the cash inflow and outflows in a period of time.
