Defining budget after the commencement of activity 8.81

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

In the "How To Mg Budgets 88.pdf' page 18 under section 'Defining budget after the commencement of activity' it states that when a budget is defined the system will ask 'Do you want to restore the accounts accumulators?'.

This does not happen except for the Main budget. Is this correct system behavior? My customer will not use the Main Budget but instead each budget has a defined profit center and project; Main Budget can not have those values.

My concern is that this may affect budget reports. If the accumulator is only used for checking budget deviation then no problem, they are aware that that check is only made against the main budget.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Hello Beverly,

For your question:

This does not happen except for the Main budget. Is this correct system behavior?

The answer is yes.

Only Main budget is used for real calculation. All others are only scenarios to do what-if analysis.

Hi,

Please check whether after marking 'Yes' is any result displayed in the 'Actual' and 'Future' columns for the G\L Account in question.

The result would be based on the account balance and the open documents.

Check once in Demo as well with an account having balance.

Kind Regards,

Thanks for your reply.

The question is NOT asked.

So I can not reply to a question that isn't asked.

Is it system behaviour to not ask the question for any budget scenerio other than 'main' ?

Thanks
