The Budget multiyear fund annually setting determines how MUNIS calculates the available budget when transactions are entered.

  • Life to date column - the 'Budget multiyear fund annually' is NOT checked. MUNIS will use the available in the Life column for the budget check.
  • Yearly column - the 'Budget multiyear fund annually' IS checked. MUNIS will use the yearly available for the budget check.
