Posting and Unposting Control Budget Journals

This section discusses how to request a batch run of the Commitment Control Posting process and mark budget journals for unposting.

Although you can post budget journals using the Commitment Control Posting (FS_BP) process directly from the Enter Budget Journals and Enter Budget Transfer components, it is more efficient to run the process in batch mode. Request a batch run of the Commitment Control Posting process on the Budget Posting Request page.

You can both post and unpost budget journals using the Budget Posting Request page. In order to unpost already posted budget journals, you must first identify the journals for unposting on the Mark Journals for Unposting page.

To mark journals for unposting:

  1. Access the Mark Journals for Unposting page (Commitment Control > Post Control Budget Journals > Mark KK Journals for Unpost > Mark Commitment Control Budget Journals For Unposting).

  3. Click the Search button to display the journals that match your selection criteria in the Journals scroll area.

    Click Show Jrnl (show journal) to open the Enter Budget Journals or Enter Budget Transfer component, where you can view journal detail.
