    This option is not available if the transaction passed budget checking with only warning exceptions.

  2. Click the Advanced Budget Criteria link to open the Refine Inquiry Criteria page where you can restrict rows to specific business unit, ledger group, and account.

    Leaving these fields blank returns all values.

  3. When you click Search to refresh the scroll area and select More Budgets Exist, the journal has more exceptions than the number you entered in the Maximum Rows field.

    To display these additional budgets, modify either the Maximum Rows field to increase the number of budgets with Errors or Warnings.

Using the Budget Override Tab

To use the Budget Override tab:

  1. Select Override Budget to update the control budget even though the transaction amount exceeds the budget amount.

    This field is available only if the budget transaction failed budget checking and you have authority to override a budget entry. It is not available if the source transaction type does not allow overrides and the Budget Header Status is N (Not Checked). When you override the budget exception, the system populates the Override User ID field with the user ID of the person who overrode budget checking and the Override Date field with the date and time of the budget exception override. The journal passes budget checking when you override all the budgets with exceptions, change the budget available amount, or change the journal amount.
