Reallocating budgets

Budget amounts can be moved between accounts, account and analysis combinations or periods.

A journal is entered to credit the source budget and debit the target budget.

For example, if budget is to be moved from Account A Period 04/2006, to Account B Period 03/2006, the following journal must be created:

Account Analysis Period Amount D/C
A   04/2006 USD 100 C
Miscellaneous Account   04/2006 USD 100 D
B   03/2006 USD 100 D
Miscellaneous Account   03/2006 USD 100 C
Note: You should not move more than the available budget for that period because you will cause an overspend against the budget. The available budget is calculated as: available budget = budget - committed expenditure - actual expenditure.
