In the GL under "Inquiries" - " View Transaction/Budget" we see an incorrect number under the "Budget Total " column. The number appears to be a budget number from several years ago. The budget appears correctly in our financial statements. What are we missing ? Suggestions ? Thanks

That dialog allows you to choose what year's budget you are comparing to. Have you inadvertently changed the year?

We have checked the year . The Budget Total $ is the same amount for fiscal period 2012,2013 and 2014.

OK. What version of Ledger and does the data pass the Data Integrity Check?

If you edit the grid to include the Budget Total column on the View Transactions/Budgets grid, this will always show the Current Year budget as stored on the account master record, and will not recalculate the Budget Total as of the selected fiscal year. You can see the same number if you open the Edit Accounts or the Edit Budgets screens and edit the grid to include the Budget Total amount. It should be the same number as if you select your Current Fiscal Year from this screen, then click the 'Budget/Forcst.' button and see the grand total for the current year budget (column 4 of this grid).

There is no 'Budget Total (FY)' column on the View Transactions/Budgets grid, as there is for Opening or Current Balance to recalculate as of a selection fiscal period or year.

This Budget Total that is stored on the account master record gets re-calculated when budgets for the current year (not the Next fiscal year if that is open) are edited. If there is a mismatch, then I believe the integrity check should recalculate the Budget Total and Forecast Total on the account master.

How do you edit your budgets? Manually, importing from Excel, or updating from the Financial Reporter.
