I fully understand the message of the error, but I think that the correct behavior would be to just replace the budget. Consider this scenario. Say I planned to spend $100,000 over a period of the year. That's my budget 1 which I set on January 1. By July 1, same year, $60,000 and I want to set the budget to $10,000 over period of the year. $10K is less then $40k remaing and less then $60k already spend. Why did you say the budget is meaningless? What it means is that between January 1 and June 30 I wanted to spend $100,000/year, but the new budget should be $10,000/year beginning July 1. An analogy I could use is a car insurance policy where you paid a $3000 premium a year to get $500,000 coverage and regardless of whether you made any claims with this insurance policy, if you later lower your coverage to $100,000 your remaining monthly premium should go down. Basically, you cancel the old policy and buy a new policy. Same here, no?
