Being able to upload a detailed monthly budget per account and per Tracking Categories with multiple choices (Eg Tracking Category with North, South, East and West) in a single spreadsheet would be extremely valuable to us. A bulk upload would save a lot of time and also massively reduce the risk of human error in the uploads

Xero now supports the ability to import budget data from a CSV, Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), or ODS file using a budget template provided by Xero. Please see here for more details: https://central.xero.com/s/article/Import-a-budget

Had a customer asking for this today. Because the API doesn't support it they'll need to do budgets outside of Xero, reducing the value of Xero for them.

It would be great to have an budget upload API.
I'm using G-Accon to push data in Xero, it would be great to be able to push budgets too.
Currently, Xero's budget manager is a bit rigid in its layout. However with G-Accon I could use a custom layout, or for example narrow down for a departmental budget, and then push to Xero.

This would be awesome!

I would like to be able to write directly to the budget module via the API, so that when reviewing the budget variances with our functionality on reporting, we can then make immediate updates, rather than navigating through multiple menus.

This would really improve our ability to quickly analyse segments of our business in a timely manner and very cost effective rather than double handling

Yes please.

Definitely make things easier.

Agree this would make things easier.

Agree would make things much more efficient, please update.

I've encountered the same issue, the sooner the API is expanded to give this functionality would be awesome.

This is one of the missing links to my app. My users have multiple 'branches', therefore I require the ability to import multiple budgets that can be assigned to tracking categories and also import an overall budget. Happy to discuss in more depth.

Agree this would be awesome.

Hi guys any update on this? We're looking at the potential to update the budgets in Xero with the budgets in Float.

This would be AWESOME!

We generally prepare the budgets within the Excel for most of our small clients. Most of our clients use 2 tracking codes and there can be a fair number of these combinations. They do budget up the lowest level. For us to produce import sheets, including low level, as well as rolled-up budgets (including all the other combinations in between) and then import these sheets is a lengthy process through the front end. We would like to develop an add-in into which you can import your total budget (as one sheet with lines for each tracking code combination). The add in, should then create all the different budget combinations and import that into Xero through a budget API.

We are currently developing a Line of Business application that uses Xero exclusively as its accounting solution. As our application contains a budgeting and forecasting module, we require the ability for a 2-way synchronisation that incorporates both Tracking Categories and multiple Budgets.

We have built a cashflow forecasting and budgeting application, and we would like to integrate it with Xero and with Xero's budgets pretty closely to keep everything in sync. So batch/row/cell level updates for budget amounts are essential for us.
