Why is the Actual/Theoretical Cost Report using Net Sales instead of Budgeted Value?

Occasionally, clients add and subtract or change GLs to fit their business needs. When this happens, a downstream effect also impacts Budgets and some of our reporting - specifically the A/T Report.

When a new GL is created in EM Web, it will appear within the Budgets in Net Chef, but the fields relating to Budget Type and Value remain blank. Until the user fills out the Budget Type and Value correctly within the Budget screen, the A/T Report will use 'Total Net Sales' in any calculations relating to this GL.

Without dollar value (even .01 cents) or percentage, the A/T Report will not be driven from the budgeted sales. It will use net sales, and the client's Cost displayed in the A/T Report will be noticeably low.

The fix for this is to re-import budgets for all locations (this is the best way to handle it), or if the client does not have many places, it can be done manually.
