The annual operational planning = the year budget.
The forecasting is the technique to prepare the budget if the company new established (no historical data)and also to set the target of seals and revenue more over to built the projection or business plan.
Once the financial objectives have been set, it is possible to prepare and agree a budget.
A budget should relate the overall plan in figures. It is differenct from a forecast in the sense that the plan, and therefore the budget, sets minimum requirements, whereas forecast is usually an expectation of what is likely to happen.
