GL Budgeting

Hi,

In order to create GL Budgets for a Specific range of Account Code Combinations and have reports on Actual Vs Budgeted.

For the above I need following clarifications

 

1)      Do I need to open the Encumbrance Year in the GL Open Periods?

2)      Why the DFF of Variable None, Advisory and Absolute in not opening?

3)      Existing Accounting Set Ups Budgetary Controls is not enabled for Budgetary Control and Require Budget Journals--- do I need to enable both for my requirements?

4)      If so then I need to create the Reserve for encumbrance accounts and if so where the same should be opened with Type as Asset or Liability?
