What is the best practice to revise job cost budget? 1) Adjust in 6-2 or 2) Internal change order in 6-4-1

From what I see is you can import a Budget from Takeoffs and then in 6-2 click the set budget button.  If I do this then change the budget in 6-2, I see where Sage separates the budget into Original and Current budget.

The other options is to go through 6-4-1 (Change Orders) and create an internal change order.

    Hi Ray. While budget change orders currently do not get reflected in 6-2, they do show a record of the budget being changed. If you simply make the change directly in 6-2 there is no record of it other than the record history. Budget change orders will show both in the 3-5 job record and in several of the job reports under 6-1.

    Thank you for the response that's helpful and sounds like CO budget revision is the way to go.

    In the Job Cost Totals report (6-1-6) I found fields for original material cost and another for current material cost and there's columns for original and current budget in 6-2 so thought this would be an option.  Wondering now in 6-2 what would be the purpose of the set budget button and the current budgeted cost column and original cost column.
