DEFINING BUDGETS
Use budgeting to enter estimated account balances for a specified range of periods. You
can use these estimated amounts to compare actual balances with projected results, or to
control actual and anticipated expenditures.
General Ledger gives you a variety of tools to create, maintain, and track your budgets,
including the ability to upload budget amounts from your spreadsheet software.
Budgets can be used with or without budgetary controls.
Define a budget to represent specific estimated cost and revenue amounts for a range of
accounting periods. You can create as many budget versions as you need for a Ledger.
