We have to update the budget from all our accounts. Is there a way to clear all the budgets from the accounts for a fiscal year?

Sherry:
You can use File | Export | Account Budgets to export the entire set of Budgets to Excel. Make certain you choose the correct fiscal year. Then, using Excel, reset all figures to zero. Next, make a quick Backup of the GL files. Finally, import the Budget using File | Import | Account Budgets. Make certain that you choose the crorect fiscal year on the "Field Defaults" tab.

Hi Sherry,

You can also clear the budgets for the most recent fiscal year by opening the Edit Budgets screen, multi-select the accounts, then click the Clear button. This also works for the Forecast amounts in Ledger.

Note that this works only for the Current fiscal year (if Next Year hasn't been created yet), or the Next fiscal year if it has been created. You cannot clear budgets for an older year.

Make sure you have a good data backup before running this.

Can I ask why you need to do this?

I like Support's idea better than mine.
