Seb, I think that the easiest way to do this would be with manual Money Flows.
Imagine that you have $2000 in an Income bucket (perhaps from an initial deposit or initial rollover). Now, if you need to split that amount between other buckets to account for amounts that you have currently saved, just drag the Income bucket on top of the target bucket (for instance, Car), a menu will appear allowing you to select how much you would like to move from one bucket to the other. In this way, you can initialize all your buckets.
