Below is an example of a Define Custom Budget Entry forms that has been setup for Budget Entry in column 6.

  

Data Entry columns when setup defaults to "Month" and in the above example December was selected as the Fiscal Period. This mean that data entered on the Dashboard tab will default to the month of December on the Account Details tab. Data that is entered in other months will therefore not be reflected in the December data entry column on the Dashboard tab. It is recommended that an additional Year-to-Date column is setup to reflect the data entered for all months (see column 7).

And this is how the Custom Budget Entry screen looks like for the above definition:

Please note that there is a $500 difference between the December and 12 months columns for account number 000-4117-01.

The Account Details tab is accessed by Drilling down into the required AccountNum on the Dashboard tab.  And in our example, you can see that $500 was entered in January, and that the December total on the Account Details tab equals the December column amount on the Dashboard tab, namely, $1,005,000.

 

Please note that if Columns have been setup with on-screen calculations (for example, VarianceValues) and when a new entry is made, please" Save" your work to refresh the calculation.
