Budget categorization in expense GL

[kamwaren]

Hi Experts,

Please I would like to easily categorize every expenses posted in GL line items in their corresponding budget lines. For now, every month I have to pull-out in Excel the GL line items and categorize manually each line with his budget category. It will be easier if I could assign a budget code while posting every line item in an expense account. what is the best way for me to do that? Can I create the cost elements as my budget categories so that for each posting in expenses GL accounts, I fill the cost elements to be able to know with budget line has been used? I was also thinking of using the transaction types instead of the Cost element for the same purpose. What ever the code use, the aim for me is to use that to differentiate one budget line to another one in a GL account. Please I need your advice.
