Use the Revise Budget feature when the total amount for an Adopted, Adjusted, or Revised budget has changed — for example, the monies available for the fund have been increased or decreased.
Select Budget Management from the Budget menu, and that window opens. Note: If you need to work in a different accounting cycle, select it from the link in the upper right corner.
Select the Fund and Account Type as needed to find the budget item(s) you want to revise.
Check the box(es) for the account(s) you need to change, and click Propose Account Budget. The Propose Account Budget window opens.
Complete the Change field, entering a positive number to increase the proposed amount or a negative number to decrease the proposed amount. When you tab out of the field, you'll see the new proposed amount.
Optional. Enter a Comment to explain the change.
Click Save.
Repeat steps 4-6 until you've edited the last of the selected accounts. You're returned to the Budget Management window. Sample
The changed amounts are displayed in the Proposed Amount column.
The summary window may show some non-zero difference(s).
Repeat steps 2-7 if you need to adjust amounts in other funds.
Click Revise, and the Revise Budget window opens.
Edit the Adopt Date if needed.
Enter any desired Comments. Comments will be displayed in the Budget Items grid in the Budget Management window.
Check the box(es) for the fund(s) in which you're making revisions, and click OK. Since the budget will be out of balance, the Budget Transactions window opens.
Click OK. You're notified that the record was saved successfully and returned to the Budget Management window.
The fund budget status is now Revised.
The Adopted Amount column still displays the original budget amounts, while the Current Budget column shows the newly adjusted budget amounts. Sample
You can see the transaction for the revised fund budget in the General Ledger > Transaction Journal Detail window.
