Amounts and Encumbrances

This table describes how the G/L Budget Checking Report processes amounts and encumbrances:

Item

Description

No budget amount

If an account has no record in the budget (primary) ledger, the report assumes that the budget is zero. It subtracts the amounts from the second and third ledgers, resulting in a negative amount on the exception report.

Foreign currency amounts

Budgeted amounts are in the domestic currency only. Therefore, the report does not select transactions from the CA (foreign currency) ledger in the F0911 table.

Encumbrances

These budgeted amounts have commitments or contracts, such as purchase orders.
