Start by selecting the Fiscal Year that you would like to apply a Budget towards from the drop-down menu, and then select the G/L Account to which you would like to apply the Budget towards. Once you have selected an Account, notice how the system populates a table of each Fiscal Period.

Next, enter in a Budget for the Fiscal Year, images/fiscalyearbudgets/budgetamount-5.jpg and click on the images/fiscalyearbudgets/apply-6.jpg button.

A selection window will pop-up for you to select how you wish to allocate your Budget. The system allows you to allocate the budget amount evenly, or, based on the period length. For example, if there are more days in a period, the budget amount allocated, will be more.
