So this will be in continuation of 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3169 right?

I agree with Pierre to have a specialpurpose component. In the same spirit, 
should we not separate budget from forecasting?

Hans, All,

Might I suggest to separate current budget entities and functionalities
from the accounting component into a separate (e.g. special purpose)
component. Current accounting application is (screen-/user-experience-wise)
already overcrowded with a lot, and adding more might make it even more
complex to explain.

Separation from accounting enables you and the rest of the OFBiz community
to offer the budgeting functionality as an optional to potentials and keep
the the additionals (functional documentation, manuals) as concise as
possible, while at the same time eventual JIRA issues contained and better
visible than when integrated in accounting.

Best regards,

Pierre Smits

Thank you all for your interest.

We plan to follow chapter 8 of the data model resource book vol 1. I hope
you understand that we first have to find out what this customer requires,
then generalize the implementation and then i can present the result if the
customer agrees to contribute it. From that point on, comments on the
implementation can be implemented. The planned implementation with the
customer is June this year.

Now i see there is interest, I will keep you informed of any developments.

Regards,
Hans

Interesting.
OFBiz has already a "Fiscal Gl Type" field in the transactions (with
possible values "Budget" etc...) but currently only "actual" type is used.

  Good day,
we have a request from a customer to implement a full budget function
into accounting of which the entered values should also appear on the
standard P&L and balance sheet of a specific organization. Yes this is a
multi company accounting implementation.

Anybody any thoughts on this or would like to work with us? I did not
not yet discuss this with our customer if this function can be contributed
or not, i just would like to know if there is interest of the OFBiz users
in general.

Because i will be visiting ApacheCon in Austin in 2 weeks, we could also
discuss it there?
