If selected, the transaction has more exceptions than the number that you entered in the Maximum Rows field.

More Lines Exist

If selected, the transaction has more transaction line exceptions than the number that you entered in the Maximum Rows field.

Override Budget

Select to update the control budget although the transaction exceeds the budget. This option is available only if the budget transaction fails budget checking and you have super-user authority. It is not available if the source transaction type does not enable overrides and the budget header status is Not Checked. The budget header status appears as Not Checked if you changed the source transaction after the Commitment Control Budget Processor process issued the exceptions and you have not run the process again.

After you override a budget with exceptions, adjust the budget available amount, or adjust the source transaction amount; the transaction passes budget checking.

Override Transaction

Select to enable the entire transaction to update the control budget, even if error exceptions exist. This option is available only for super users. This option is not available if the transaction passes budget checking with only warning exceptions. You can select it prior to budget checking or after you run the Commitment Control Budget Processor process and it returns errors.

Budget Override

Select the Budget Override tab to access a page that enables you to access the Budget Exceptions page or Budget Details page. You must have authority to inquire about the budget to access these pages.

View Exception Details

Click the View Exception Details button at the exception header level to access the Exception Details page for transaction headers to view the budgets with error or warning exceptions, budget ChartFields, and any overrides.

Run Control ID

Create a unique run control ID for each type of source transaction that you want to budget check independently of other source transactions. If you use the same run control ID for purchase orders and requisitions, the budget processor will process both purchase orders and requisitions existing at the time the run control ID is used to initiate the budget checking process. For example, this occurs if you have created a run control ID of BPO1 for both purchase orders and requisitions. However, if you create a different run control ID for purchase orders and requisitions, the different source transactions are processed independently of each other. For example, creating BPPO1 for purchase orders and BPRQ1 for requisitions enables you to budget check the two source transactions independently of one another.
