About Importing Actual KBI Values
Budgeting has the capability of importing information from outside systems such as a PMS or other accounting system, to populate the desired areas within the program. Importing probably won't enter all your actuals; you will need to manually enter any data that the importing process doesn't provide.
If you are unable to import data, you should proceed to Manually Entering Actual KBI Values to manually enter actual KBI values.
