Steps to follow
Step 1: Create a budgetary position.
Step 2: Create an analytic account.
Navigate to Accounting > Configuration > Analytic Accounts to create a new analytic account.
Step 3: Create a budget, then confirm and approve it.
Step 4: Create and confirm the vendor bill.
Navigate to Accounting > Vendor > Vendor Bills to create and confirm a vendor bill.
Step 5: Check the current expense usage.
Go to Budgets > Budgets, and select the budget that you want to review.
Check the generated journal entries on the Actual Amount column on the Budget Lines tab.
Note: On Budgets app, on the Budget Lines tab, the Paid Date will affect the automatic computation of the Theoretical Amount column.
If the Paid Date is after the current date then the Theoretical Amount is set to 0.
If the Paid Date is before the current date then the Theoretical Amount is equal to the Theoretical Amount.
If the Paid Date is left empty then the Theoretical Amount is calculated by the following formula:
(Days from the budget start date to the current date x Planned Amount) / Number of days in this budget period
Step 6: Check the current usage of all running budgets to the current date (15/11/2022).
