Export Budget to Excel Batch Job
Exports a budget from Microsoft Dynamics NAV to an Excel workbook. You can also make new budgets based on budget figures or actual figures from previous periods. You can import the budget back into Microsoft Dynamics NAV by using the Import Budget from Excel function.
Important
If you have set filters for dimensions on the G/L Budget Entry FastTab, you must always specify the same dimensions in the Column Dimensions field on the Options FastTab. If you fail to do this, dimension information will be lost when you import back into Microsoft Dynamics NAV from Excel.
Choose the OK button to start the batch job. A new workbook in Excel is automatically created and opened, and the data is exported to it. You can then name the Excel file and save it.
Options

Column Dimensions |
