A comment on the idea "Two new Reports Extensions for Budgeting" in The Infinite Kind:

When I did the extension I wasnt thinking of prorated amounts, I guess thats why you see the total amount in Jan. For now to get what you want you will have to put individual amounts in each period, eg $100 in each month. At some stage I may look into implementing prorated amounts.

Hi Sean, I sent an email to you some time ago on getting the extension signed. I assume you got my reply and signed the extension. Let me know if there are any problems. – Rolf Lawrenz, on December 15, 2008 12:35

I just noticed the sorting was not correct when subtotals was checked. I released a new version 0.5 which should look better. – Rolf Lawrenz, on October 23, 2008 22:49

I have now implemented parent categories with subtotals as an option in the Detailed Budget extension (version 0.4). You can now download the new version at the google code site given above. Remember you must change the extension filename to detailedBudget.mxt before importing. – Rolf Lawrenz, on October 23, 2008 13:27

When you select a specific Budget it will only show categories that you have included in the budget (similar to the MD budget report). When you select ALL, it will include all categories regardless if it included in a budget. I would say most of the time you would use the ALL option. – Rolf Lawrenz, on October 23, 2008 13:04

I added a note on the home page of the extension, you may not have noticed it. Make sure you rename the extension to detailedBudget.mxt before you import otherwise you will get an error. – Rolf Lawrenz, on October 15, 2008 10:55

I agree, it would be great if Reilly Technologies test/review/sign these extensions. I have asked previously already. If anyone from MoneyDance is reading this email, please let me know what you need from me to get these extensions signed. – Rolf Lawrenz, on October 13, 2008 12:01

I was able to reproduce the problem with negative transactions for the Detailed Budget extension. I have fixed the problem and released a new version (0.3) on the same google code site as given above. Let me know if this fixes your problem. – Rolf Lawrenz, on October 10, 2008 13:24

I am trying to adjust the Detailed Budget extension to include negative transactions. Can anyone suggest an easy way for me to create a negative income transaction to work with. When I try it with my accounts MoneyDance changes the transaction from a negative income to an expense. – Rolf Lawrenz, on October 08, 2008 13:10

A comment on the idea "Two new Reports Extensions for Budgeting" in The Infinite Kind:

This is the main reason I created the Detailed Budget extension. I found I had expenses that were not in my budget and they were not being shown in the budget report. The Detailed Budget Report I did should show non-budgeted expenses. You can choose a particular budget or ALL budgets for the report. Let me know if this is still not working for you. – Rolf Lawrenz, on September 22, 2008 00:56

If anyone is worried about what the extensions do, I have provided full source code for both projects. You can have a look at the Java code I did and compile yourself (it helps if you know how to program in Java code). Or if there is something you want to change with the extensions, download source code and change. – Rolf Lawrenz, on August 31, 2008 23:15

Oops, I didnt notice that. I have fixed that problem and reposted updated extensions. The filename must remain the same so I had to delete the old and replace with the new. Hope you find it useful. – Rolf Lawrenz, on August 29, 2008 12:59

Sure, I think you need to add me to the project so I can download extensions?

Two new Reports Extensions for Budgeting

For those fellow MoneyDance users who use MoneyDance to track their Budget, I have created 2 new report extensions which will help.

Detailed Budget. This enhances the existing budget report by including all transactions regardless if it is budgeted. It uses all budgets and you can subtotal per week/month/year. Download extension from here: http://code.google.com/p/moneydance-detailedbudget/

My Position. This report gives you an overall perspective of how you are doing with your finances. A balance chart shows the budgeted and actual trends over year. It will also show the forecasted balance. Details are given on your income and expenses with various charts. Also a Day by Day table is given to help create an accurate budget.
