[en] Budget in RamBase

[en] The Budget (BAC) application in RamBase is a parallel to the Chart of accounts (ACC). However, registration on these accounts does not occur through the Chart of accounts (ACC), but from the Budget (BAC) application.

[en] When numbering the budget it is advisable to use numbers in accordance to the account numbers in Chart of accounts (ACC). You can link budgets to accounts in the Chart of accounts (ACC) application manually. Budgets linked manually will not be changed if the Bulk Link Budgets to Corresponding GL Accounts option in the context menu is used afterwards.
