Re: Loading budget using journal entry.
Steve,
Ordinarily, Budget Ledgers aren't visible in Journal Transaction Entry. You'd use the Budget Maintenance screen in the General Ledger module to enter your budget.
However, there's a way to get around this...
Change the balance type on your Budget Ledger to Statistical, and make sure that the Balancing Required box is unchecked. This will make this ledger visible in Journal Transaction Entry, and you can update the budget using that screen and an out of balance transaction now.
Good luck!
