		+	'''How To Enter a budget variation.'''
		+
		+	*Select the 'Budget Variation' button displayed within the Budget Tab
		+	*The Budget Variation screen appears
		+
		+	*Budget field has a drop down that allows you to select from the list the budget that you wish to perform the variation
		+
		+	on.
		+
		+	*As you select the budget from the drop down list, the interval, start date and end date will auto fill based on the
		+
		+	entries created for that budget in budget definitions
		+
		+	*You will then need to select the action you are performing, you can select either change or copy
		+	*Change - will allow you to make alterations to an already existing entry
		+	*Copy will allow you to duplicate the already existing entry
		+	*Are you changing or copying for just this period? Or for the whole budget?
		+	*Just this period will either copy or record changes for the selected period only
		+	*The whole budget will either copy or record changes for the entire budget
		+
		+	*If you select 'copy' and whole 'budget', the following screen appears for additional information
		+	*These additional fields allow you to create a new name for the budget that you are creating, and a new description.

		+
		+	*If you select 'copy' and 'period', the following screen appears for additional information

		+
		+	*If you have selected change, and budget - and then choose accounts. This screen allows you to make changes
		+
		+	to the specific accounts of your choice for the entire budget.
