- The Budget Distribution function lets you itemize the
- distribution of check transaction amount across several
- budget categories. Up to 99 different budgets can be
- used in the distribution, although a check transaction
- can be unbudgeted (not belonging to any budget).
-
- The AMOUNT BUDGETABLE is the transaction's amount. The
- AMOUNT UNBUDGETED is the budgetable amount minus all the
- distributed amounts.
-
- You can edit the budgeted amount by clicking on the
- distribution, changing its value in the amount field, and
- pressing RETURN to update the distribution list.
-
- If, at any time, the total expenses distributed to a
- budget become greater than the defined limit (as defined
- in the "Expense Limit" input field of the Budget
- requester), a notice will remind you that you have
- exceeded your limit.
-

-
- The following list describes the functions available in
- the Budget Distribution Requester. The order of these
- functions corresponds to the order they appear in the
- requester's menu bar. You can select any function using
- either the keyboard (shown as "Keyboard:") or mouse
- ("Mouse:").

-
- Define a new budget distribution. A maximum of 99
- budget distributions can be defined for any check
- transaction. The Budget Requester is displayed for
- you to select a budget. Once a budget has been
- selected, the amount input field of the Budget
- Distribution Requester will be activated for you to
- enter the amount to distribute to this selected
- budget.
-
- The amount budgetable (shown as the AMOUNT
- BUDGETABLE) is equal to the payment amount of the
- check. The distributed amount is limited to a
- minimum of $0.01 and a maximum of the amount
- unbudgeted (shown as the AMOUNT UNBUDGETED); a
- distribution of $0.00 or less is not allowed.
-
- After a valid amount is entered, the distribution
- is entered into the distribution list in
- alphabetical order. The amount undistributed is
- updated.
-
- If the entered amount causes the selected budget to
- become overbudgeted--the total distributions to
- this budget during the analysis period exceed the
- defined expense limit, the program will notify this
- fact.
