Previous year budget missing
I am trying to set the 2013 budget by copying over numbers from the 2012 budget but when I go to View/Edit Budget and change the year to 2012 or 2011 everything in the "Budget Assigned by Unit" column is empty. I know we had a budget last year. Any idea why these numbers would be cleared?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I don't know if it's related, but I went to make an adjustment to the budget recently, and found that the current year's budget was missing. The entire budget had been reset to zero.

I'll add "me to" to this discussion. Our Ward had the budget completed at the beginning of January, in the past week the budget is now zeroed. When reviewing 2012 it is also returned to zero.

Re: Previous year budget missing
My initial send/receive this morning had a financial update that lasted it seems 30 seconds. I was then logged off and had to log on again. When I looked at budget, sure enought the budgeted numbers were gone. Looking at Income and Expense "Other Account" the carryover numbers changed to what we thought they should be all along. Early on it showed a couple hundred dollars in an other accoutn, now that's gone. It matches the CUBS report now. So, seems something was up.

I also noticed our ward budget had been zeroed some time over the past week. I was going to show the ward clerk some budget allocation figures when I was surprised to see the entire budget figures gone. The only figures that remained were the estimated quarterly allowance figures.

Since multiple people are seeing this, I've reported the thread to our MLS contact.

Re: Previous year budget missing
There was an MLS message today that basically stated as such: that budgets have gone missing and apologizing for the bug.

Re: Previous year budget missing
Has anyone gone through the process of restoring the missing budget?

Re: Previous year budget missing
I restored the 2011, 2012, and 2013 budget figures manually recovered from a backup made on 22 January.
I had contacted LUS to see what they could do before I manually restored the budget figures . They attempted to restore the figures from a 15 January backup copy they had. They sent down a file that was supposed to restore the data. It did not restore the data. We tried this twice before I gave up and did the manual recovery.
The manual recovery method I used involved restoring a backup known to have the budget data needed. It first involved moving the ward data folder from the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\LDS Church\MLS\data\units\" folder in Windows XP or "C:\ProgramData\LDS Church\MLS\data\units" in Windows 7 to another location so that a new setup of the ward in MLS is required and then doing a backup restore. This restored backup was only used so that I could manually copy the data. I then restored the current ward data by deleting the restored data folder and moving the previously moved ward data folder back to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\LDS Church\MLS\data\units\" folder.
I can post the detailed steps I used if needed.

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for!
If it's not too much trouble to post the detailed steps for the manual recovery, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks!
