Budgets

Editing Budgets

To make changes in any of the budgeted amounts Click the Budget tab in the BUDGET window and Click on the income or expense category you want to change. This will bring up the monthly amounts that are currently in the budget (remember we set the budget originally for monthly detail). Just point and Click on whatever month you want to change. After changing the monthly amount(s) for this category, Click Apply to save the change(s). Repeat this procedure for as many categories as needed to make your budget reflect the proper income and expense projections for the coming year.

Budget Report

This report compares the actual income and expenses to the budgeted income and expenses and uses the budget you have created in the first part of this section. With the budget reporting feature you can generate a comparison of actual vs. budgeted amounts for each month. By changing the beginning report date to January 1 and changing the ending date to the last day in the current month, you can create a year-to-date comparison of actual vs. budgeted amounts.
