Hi Andrew

Not to douse your enthusiasm, but Ralph's solution is not elegant. I have tried it at a client, and it is unbelievably unwieldy having to maintain two sets of identical charts of accounts in two separate databases. Not to mention the constant updating in FX.

The more elegant solution, assuming the account structure is not using all six characters for the account number, is to create additional (inactive) accounts, with a "B" prefix (e.g. if postage is 6250, then B6250). Use these B accounts to enter the original budget, and use the non-prefix account to track the revised budget numbers. This is preferable because the B accounts only have to be visited once a year.

Without getting into details, it is then trivial to create a Financial Report whose columns can refer to either the non-prefix or the prefix budget figures. If you want those details, let me know.
