When we run the financial statement suite, we get a whole bunch of “false errors” related to our Budget and Actual schedules. These are time consuming to clear out the error for our documentation purposes and I just wish I could train the system to recognize this schedule and know how it is supposed to foot.

For example, the permits revenue line item had a final budget of 100,000 and an actual of 143,137. Because this is revenue, we are showing a favorable variance of 43,137. This is the correct answer. However, Data Snipper wants to add the Actual and Variance together (143,137 + 43,137 = 186,274) and then give us an error on the final budget of 86,274 (100,000 final budget as compared to 186,274). Can I teach it the format, so it stops flagging every budget and actual schedule in this way?
