Relieving Encumbrances
Whether the system accrues expenses on receipt of goods or on processing of invoices, the system creates expense distribution lines from purchase order lines at the appropriate time and automatically relieves the purchase order encumbrance.
You can also relieve encumbrances manually in General Ledger. To do so, you must make an encumbrance entry.
To relieve encumbrances manually:
1. Navigate to the Enter Encumbrances window.
2. Enter or query an encumbrance batch.
5. Enter the Period to which to reverse the original encumbrance entry.
The default period is the current accounting period.
6. Post the reversal batch to relieve the encumbrances.
