Budget Entry Tools

ENTRY TOOLS 
 
Enter Budget Amounts has several tools that can help with entering and proofing your budget.  Three (3) of those tools are the Walk Next, Clear Entry Total, and Redisplay. 
 
Walk Next
When you do not select Worksheet Style, you can save time entering the budget by entering the data in General Ledger account number order using the Walk Next option.  To activate this option, click on the Walk Next button on the toolbar.

The system will pull in the first revenue or expenditure account it finds.  Press Enter to accept or enter another account as your starting point.  The system will go to the amount field and allow you to start entering amounts.  Once an amount is entered and the Enter key is pressed, the system will automatically pull up the next account number.  If you need to skip an account, simply press Enter again without entering an amount. 
 
Clear Entry Total
The Entry Total on the right side of the screen keeps a running total of all entries made in the journal for that period.  Budget Entry allows you to reset the Entry Total by clicking on the Clear Entry Total button on the toolbar.  This is helpful when you are entering budgets by fund, department, or some other grouping with totals and you want to proof to those totals.  Simply click the Clear Entry Totals button each time you start a new total to proof to. 


Redisplay
The Redisplay allows you to review entries on the screen.  To show the Redisplay screen, click on the Redisplay button on the toolbar.  The redisplay screen allows you to view specific ranges of reference numbers or General Ledger accounts.  When you select a specific range, the hash total on the Redisplay screen reflects the total for those entries
