<p>You may have a large, one-time expenditure that you don't want to include in your budget, even though you want to track the category. For example, you may regularly track small expenditures such as oil changes in Automobile: Maintenance. However, you may not want your budget to track expensive car repairs that you enter in Money under the same category, Automobile: Maintenance. If you want, you can exclude that large transaction from your budget while still tracking the rest of the expenses in that category.</p>
