Please add the ability to import budgets with accounts, projects AND notes.
We budget by account and project. We include detailed notes on each account entry so the managers can remind themselves what was budgeted, and aid in projecting future spending.
The current budget import options allow either account and note, or account and project, but not account, project AND note.
This means I have to choose to import with accounts and projects, then manually add notes (to hundreds of records), or I have to import by account and note, then allocate those same hundreds of records to projects.
It's a terribly manual system that needs to be improved.

Thank you Mohit - this add-on doesn't seem to work for me (it won't launch).when I have an hour to spare, I'll try to contact support again.

Thank you Mohit. I use the database view importer. I haven't heard of this Add-In (and clearly neither had the support person I was chatting with for a long time, trying to figure out how to get my project code and notes into the budget). I will check it out. Wish I had known about it before doing this all by hand yesterday.

Hi Jill - thanks for reaching out. Just wanted to clarify, do you use database view import utility or the Budget Creator Excel Add-In for budget import?
If you haven't tried Budget Creator Excel Add-In, please give it a try and you will be able to add/edit a budget scenario with accounts, projects, grants and notes at once.
Note: With Budget Excel Add-in, you can only add/edit one budget scenario at a time.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,
Mohit
