How to use multiple General Ledger budgets on finance reports in Business Central

Summary

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, it is possible to report on two budgets on the same report.

This allows comparisons to a set budget and a forecast budget.

How do I do this?

  • You need to personalise the Column Definition page to add the Budget Name column.
  • Then, you simply select the budget you want to report against.
  • To amend or create a new Column Definition: Open Financial Reporting from the Finance Sub Menu.
  • In the example below Budget and Forecast X have been added.
