Detailed Description

GnuCash Budgets.

Design decisions:

• The budget values that the user enters (and that are stored) for each account are inclusive of any sub-accounts.

• Reason: This allows the user to budget an amount for a "parent" account, while tracking (e.g.) expenses with more detail in sub-accounts.

• Implication: when reporting budgeted values for parent accounts, just show the stored value, not a sum.

• Budget values are always in the account's commodity.

Accounts with sub-accounts can have a value budgeted. For those accounts,

Option 1: when setting or getting budgeted values, the value is *always* exclusive of sub-account values. Pro: consistent values in all contexts. Con: no summary behavior.

Option 2: make setting only for account proper, but always report summaries. Con: value can change as soon as it is entered; forces entry from bottom-up.

* Option 3: value is always *inclusive* of sub-accounts, although potentially in a different commodity. Pro: allows top-down entry; no auto value update. Con: ? [ This option was selected. ]
