To enforce budgetary control options by transaction type, you must define a budgetary control group and then assign options to combinations of source and category. See: Creating a Budgetary Control Group
Depending on how you define budgetary control options, conflicts might arise that the funds checker must resolve. For example, you enter absolute budgetary control for all transactions affecting Company 01, and advisory budgetary control for journal entry source Project Management and category Work Orders. If you use Journal Import to import a Project Management Work Order charged to Company 01 into General Ledger, the funds checker must resolve the conflict between budgetary control options.
Table 1 - 4 shows the type of funds checking the system performs if the budgetary control options you have defined by journal entry source, category, and user conflict with those for a particular account.
JE Source, Category, or User Funds Checking Option | Summary or Detail Account Funds Checking Option | ||
---|---|---|---|
None | Advisory | Absolute | |
None | None | None | Absolute |
Advisory | None | Advisory | Absolute |
Absolute | None | Absolute | Absolute |
Table 1 - 4. (Page 1 of 1) |
Suggestion: Consider implementing Advisory budgetary control for individual accounts or ranges of accounts, Advisory budgetary control at the journal entry source and category level, and Advisory budgetary control on all summary templates except the summary template that creates the highest level of summarization. Absolute budgetary control is recommended for this template only.
