When you post the real acquisition cost (in either the FA G/L journal or the FA journal), you enter the number of the budgeted asset in the Budgeted FA No. field. This will cause the program to post an acquisition cost with an opposite sign for the budgeted asset. That means the total acquisition cost on the budgeted asset is the difference between the budgeted and the actual acquisition cost.
