[GNC] Budget Calculations

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm not 100% clear on what you are trying to change, but here's how the 
Budget Module works:

You can set child amounts. Those will automatically roll up to the parent.

If you set anything at all for the parent, even 0.00, then that is what 
you will get. It then ignores the child accounts as least as far as the 
parent is concerned.

This allows you to budget a different amount for the parent than the sum 
of its children.

But in both cases, any amount entered should be reflected in the totals 
in the summary section. If not, (and I'm understanding you correctly) 
you've found a bug, please report it on Bugzilla.

Regards,
Adrien
