Budget Import

The Budget Import enables the user to import budgets into K212. Three different budget import types are available, and are driven by the field selection in settings, when configuring the import setting (see table below). The three different budget import types are as follows:

•Original Budget Import: The original budget import will overwrite the account's original and revised budget figures with the amount in the import file. Typically this would be run before any budgets have been entered for any account for the year, but it is important to note that if there are any budget amounts in any of the accounts to be imported, the budget amount to be posted to such accounts will not be the amount in the import file. The difference between the current budget and the budget amount in the import file is the amount in the import file is the new budget amount for that account. This is because, as stated above, the original budget import overwrites budget amounts. The transactions to be posted must all balance to zero, in order for the import to be accepted.

Note: This may or may not be the same as the amounts in the import file, depending on whether or not budgets already exist.

•Revised Budget Import:  Similar to the original budget import, the revised budget import will overwrite the account's revised budget figures with the amount in the import file. Again, any budgets to be imported to accounts already having budget will only post the difference between the current budget and the budget amount in the import file, because the budget import overwrites  budget amounts -- the amount in the import file is the new budget amount for that account. The transactions to be posted must all balance to zero, in order for the import to be accepted. 

Note: This may or may not be the same as the amounts in the import file, depending on whether or not budgets already exist.

•Budget Transfer Import: This is the import that emulates the budget import of K212's legacy system (BAS2000). Unlike the other two imports (original and revised), the budget transfer import issues budget transactions in the amount contained in the import file, adjusting the budgets that already exist by the amount in the import file. Therefore, if the amounts in the import file total to zero, the batch will be in balance.
