Budget Categories
DO NOT DELETE CATEGORIES TYPE “ACCOUNT” OR “CREDIT”.
The budget categories are used to group similar operations in reports and analyses. Every sub-category is linked to a budget category.
Operations are only performed on sub-categories.
Links can be modified at all time.
By default, Budget Express suggests a list of budget categories, but you can add your own.
Every type of operation (income, expense, account, credit, savings and loan) is linked to a series of budget categories. Click a category to expand the list of associated budget categories.
