Use

You can use this function to copy a budget from one budget period to another and from one budget type to another.

The advantage of using the copy function is that you do not have to create the hierarchy every time you want to create a budget, be it for a different period or a different budget type. You can simply copy an existing budget structure and then use the change function to modify it.

This function has the following copy options:

These options allow you to choose whether you want to copy just the budget structures and their amounts, or the budgets and the objects they finance. The option of specifying a structural depth lets you define exactly how much of the budget structure you want to copy.
