Changing Percentages in G/L Budgets

Use the G/L Budget Percentages screen to change the monthly dollar values to percentage values. Use this method if you want to break up your budget using percentages instead of dollar amounts. For example, if you want to budget most of your money in the beginning of the year by percentages, you would create larger percentage amounts from January to June, and smaller percentage amounts from July to December.

To change a percentage in a G/L budget:

From the G/L menu, select G/L Budgeting to display the G/L Budget Maintenance screen.
From a populated G/L Budget Maintenance screen, enter the total budget amount for the year in the Totals field.
Use the Monthly % hot key to display the G/L Budget Percentages screen.

To change a percentage value for a month, enter a new value and press Enter.

Continue making changes as needed, ensuring that the percentages add up to 100 percent. You cannot exit the screen until the values total 100 percent.
Press Esc to save this information and exit the screen.

The G/L Budget Maintenance screen displays, with the percentage amounts for each month converted to the corresponding dollar amounts that add up to the original value in the Total field.
