Topic: Budgets dont work quite right

If i set a budget for income accounts, the P/L report displays the budget for the income items as a negative.

This cant be right.

Re: Budgets dont work quite right

Ah, Brian, budgets should be entered the same way as in Journal Entry. Income is a credit post so you should enter all Sales related accounts with a minus sign in front. Expense should be entered positive.
Due to the sign conversion in FA in Profit Loss statements the budget sales was entered with positive values, though a minus in PL Statement.
So just go linto your budgets and place a minus sign in front of the values for Sales Accounts.
