Decommit Remaining Funds During Obligation

There may be business cases when unused funds are available as the contracting officer is able to fulfill the order obligating less than what was committed in the requisition. To release unused committed funds from the requisition, the purchasing administrator can now enable the Decommit Remaining Funds During Obligation CLM Control option. When a requisition is placed on an award for less than the full requisition amount, the balance is automatically decommitted upon the award's approval. Unused commitment of the linked requisition is released to the budget. You can use this feature to proactively decommit funds instead of trying to find all the requisitions with remaining balances and then attempting to liquidate funds.
Prior to Release 12.2.14, the surplus funds on the requisition were transferred to the budget through the liquidate process as part of the period-end activity. 

This feature enables users to proactively decommit funds directly, eliminating the need to manually identify requisitions with remaining balances and perform individual fund liquidation activities. By streamlining the decommitment process, it reduces administrative effort, improves efficiency, and helps ensure more timely management of available funds.

Steps to enable and configure

Tips and considerations

Validate the feature with realistic funded and partially funded scenarios, including approval and modification flows.
