To Set Up your Nominal Account Budgets

1. Select the nominal account or accounts you require, from the Nominal Ledger window.

2. From the Nominal Ledger toolbar, click Record.

The Nominal Record window appears showing details of the account you selected.

3. The analysis table contains three columns, which show for each month of your financial year the following: Actuals, Budgets and Prior Year.

4. In the Budgets column, enter your budget values for each month, or you can enter the total budget allocation for the year in the Totals box. If you enter the annual total, Sage Line 50 automatically divides this total equally between the twelve months.

You can amend your nominal account budget values by using the Global Changes feature from the Tools menu.

B/F stands for "Brought Forward" items. These are transaction items that are dated in the previous financial year.

The row labelled Future displays the totals of any transactions that have already been entered for your next financial year.

5. To save your budget values click Save, or to clear the boxes and re-enter a new account code, click Discard. To return to the main Nominal Ledger window, click Close.
