[GNC] budget hierarchy not same as account hierarchy

Interesting. Glad you found a workaround. But that sounds like a bug. Please report it. (note, I don’t see a similar bug already on Bugzilla)

I can confirm this behavior. As well, if you delete the workaround transaction before creating the budget, the account won’t show up. So it isn’t just a matter of creating an initial transaction, there has to be a transaction in the account for it to appear in the new budget. (presumably, you can *then* delete that workaround transaction)

Regards,
Adrien

But what I did discover is that if I put one transaction in the account (like one cent)....then that account does suddenly appear in the new budget which I want to create.  For some reason the accounts with zero in them don't appear in the budget hierarchy.

But expanding them all should show the same hierarchy as your CoA tab. I don’t think there is any way to even exclude an account from this window. (much less add an account) The Budget Report on the other hand, can be customized to include only the accounts you want.
