Sure, but that is slightly different from the annoyance I mention, isn't it? Or are you saying that you also update the single periodic transaction you use for budgeting purposes? That would work, but only for the *current* month. If you, say, compare the periodic transactions used for budgeting purposes with *past* months, you'll get back (bogus) differences and "ledger budget" will complain about them.
