Understanding Commitment Relief

When you create progress payments, you can have the system relieve the corresponding commitment amount. To relieve a commitment, the system subtracts the individual commitment amount from the total commitment amount for the job or project.

You set up commitment relief to determine whether the system relieves commitments automatically. The system relieves commitments when you post vouchers generated from progress payments to the general ledger.

Important: When completing commitment relief, the Job Cost Projections processing option must be set to No if you are in a nonjob cost environment.

Note: The default value in the Job Cost Projections processing option is Yes.
