Budget Format Account Ranges
Settings > Budgeting > Format Account Ranges

These ranges define the component format (detail budget entry screen) assigned for each G/L account. Components are defined according to a range of G/L accounts. You may use any/all parts of the G/L account number to define the ranges of accounts. Click New to add a new row, select the range of each part of the account number, and the budget format assigned to this group of accounts. 

Account Ranges

• If you overlap ranges of accounts in various rows, the system will use the most prevalent range. For instance, if you are budgeting account 2160 and the component setup has a range of 2100 to 2199 and another range of 2150 to 2199, then the second range will be applied because it is more specific. 
• It is good practice to add a generic range of 0000 to 9999, assigning a simple generic budget format that will be applied to any account that does not have a more specific range applied. 
• If you need to assign a specific format to accounts that are not contiguous, simply add multiple rows as needed. For example, if a format is to be applied to accounts 2100 through 2199 but excludes 2150, add a row 2100-2149 for the selected format and another row 2151-2199 for the same format. 

A format must be assigned to enter components into an account. If an account is not assigned a budget format, budgeting must be done on the Actuals/Budget entry screen, with no component breakdown available.
