How do I copy actual amounts to a single period?
This is a budget routine that allows you to quickly preload a beginning budget. This routine will look at the transactions from the prior year, so you will know what was spent in the prior year, and then it will copy those amounts into the budget for the future year. Use Copy Actual Amounts to a Single Period to copy actual amounts from a specific period range to a single period.
