Hi
In version 3.7 accumulated accounts option was introduced in Budget reports
However by using it I have found that logic is that Budget and Actual -
simply summing all "period" amount
For Example:
1. I have 24 month budget
2. For each month I budgeted 320$ in category 'Food'
- now I'm in October - it's 22nd month of my Budget
- if I use accumulated amount it shows that I have budget for October
7040$ for 'Food' (but in reality I have only 320$)
3. Each month I have spent from 300 to 330 as actuals and now have
accumulated Actuals for October - 6500$
4. So accumulated difference 540$
Can it be change report format to show "Rolling" accumulated amounts?
For Example
1. Period 21 - we have budgeted for 'Food' +320$
2. Period 21 - we have actuals for 'Food' -300$
3. Period 21 - We have difference for 'Food' +20$ (positive)
4. Period 22 - we have budgeted for 'Food' +300$
5. Period 22 - we have actuals for 'Food' -100$ (so far)
6. Period 22 - we have difference = (Difference amount from period 21
'+20$' ) + (Budgeted amount from period 22 '+300$') - (Actuals from period
22 '-100$') = 20$ + 300$ - 100$ = 220$
By using we can avoid confusing end-user with huge accumulated numbers - and
also keep concept if accumulating budget for some Big Goal - like budget
100$ every month for 1200$ vacation in the end of the year
