Financial control > Budgets > Budget Shortcuts window
If you want to quickly enter budget figures for a group of months, you can use the Budget Shortcuts window. You can use this window to enter quarterly, half-yearly and yearly budgets. You can also enter a budget that increases or decreases by a specific amount every month.
To enter a budget using the Budget Shortcuts window
1
Go to the Accounts command center and click Accounts List. The Accounts List window appears.
2
Click Budgets. The Prepare Budgets window appears.
4
Click Shortcuts. The Budget Shortcuts window appears.
5
From the Budget for list, select a time period:
Enter the total amount for the entire fiscal year, (where yyyy is your fiscal year).
If you selected the Each Month option, you can also set a base budget amount for the first month, and the amount or percentage by which this will vary every month onwards.
7
When you have finished entering the information, click OK. The Prepare Budgets window appears with the new amounts.
If the account already has budget figures, a message appears asking if you want to replace the existing budget. Click OK to replace the budget, or Cancel if you want to keep the existing amounts (you will be returned to the Budget Shortcuts window where you may need to click Cancel again).
