Budget Date

Indicates the date of the source transaction line. When you create the travel authorization, the system assigns the same date for both the accounting date and the budget date for the transaction.

Exception Type

Select the exception type to display: Error or Warning.

Line Status

Displays a value for the budget checking line. Values are:

  • E (error): The entry failed to pass budget checking.

  • N (not checked): The Budget Processor Application Engine process has not processed the entry, or the source transaction has changed and is not budget checked. Exception data may be inaccurate if line status is N. Budget check the transaction again to update the exceptions.

  • V (valid): The entry passed budget checking, and the process updated the control budget ledger.

  • W (warning): The Budget Processor issued a warning, but updated the control budget ledger.

Maximum Rows

Specify how many rows to display in the scroll.

More Budgets Exist

Select if the source transaction has more exceptions than the number entered in the Maximum Rows field. Enter different search criteria to shorten the list, or increase the maximum number of rows.

Override Budget

Select to override the budget checking exception and update the control budget, even if the transaction exceeds the budget. This field is available only if the budget transaction failed budget checking and if you have authority to override the exception. It is unavailable if the source transaction type does not allow overrides or the budget header status is Not Checked. If the budget header status is Not Checked, you changed the source transaction after the Budget Processor had issued the error exceptions and you had not rerun the Budget Processor.

After you override transactions with budget checking exceptions, the Budget Processor records the transaction and updates the expense transaction with a valid status.

Override Date

Displays the date and time of an override if you override the budget exception.

Override Transaction

Select to enable the entire transaction to update the control budget, even if error exceptions exist.

This check box is available only for users with super user security access and is unavailable if the transaction passed budget checking with only warning exceptions. You can select it before budget checking or after you run the Budget Processor and receive error messages.

Override User ID

Displays your user ID if you override the budget.
