Once a scenario is completed, it can be "promoted" to the proposed amounts field on the budget and revenue accounts.  Promote includes all spreadsheets in the scenario. Once promoted, the accounts with associated amounts will appear in Budgeting/Proposed Amounts Grid as well as the Next Year Proposed Amount field under the accounts UI.  The proposed amount grid is the working area where you can add/remove/edit the NY proposed amounts.  When you do, it directly affects the NY proposed amount on the expenditure/revenue account.  

Warning

Please note that once a scenario is promoted, any successive scenario that is promoted for the same year will remove a prior scenario's proposed amounts from the grid. For example, you create a scenario for HS NY proposed amounts and promote it. You then promote another scenario containing elementary NY proposed amounts. The HS NY proposed amounts will be removed from the grid (and from the proposed amounts fields on the expenditure/revenue accounts) and the elementary NY proposed amounts will be loaded.  To prevent removal of a prior scenario's proposed amounts, we recommend creating separate worksheets (i.e. HS and Elementary) within the same scenario instead of creating separate scenarios.
