Budget-Checking Status

After you run the budget processor online or in batch mode, you can review the results.

Online Budget-Checking Transaction Results

If you run the process online from the Source Transaction page or the Commitment Control page, the Budget Header Status (also labeled Budget Checking Header Status or Budget Status) field is updated with one of these values as soon as the process completes, providing you with immediate feedback:

• Valid: The transaction passed budget checking with no errors or with only warnings. The process updates the control budget.

  If warnings are issued, the system provides a link to the exception page to view the warnings.

• Error: The transaction failed budget checking. The process does not update the control budget. The page also provides a link to the appropriate exceptions page for the transaction to review the exceptions and override them.

Budget Line Status

Budget Processor also updates the Budget Line Status field on the source line table.

• V (Valid Budget Check): The transaction line passed budget checking with no errors.

• W (Warning in Budget Check): The transaction line passed budget checking with warning(s).

• E (Error Budget Check): The transaction line failed budget checking.

• N (Not Budget Checked): The transaction line is not yet budget checked.

• B (Not Subject to Budget Check): The transaction line is not subject to budget checking.

Batch Budget-Checking Process Results

Status	Description
Errors Exist	The process completed successfully, but the transactions have budget-checking errors and warnings.
Process Unsuccessful	The process ended abnormally.
No Errors or Warnings	The process completed successfully and the transactions had no errors or warnings. The process updates the control budget.
Only Warnings Exist	The process completed successfully, but the transactions have warning exceptions. The process updates the control budget.
Unrecorded Errors Exist	The process completed successfully, but the transactions have too many budget-checking errors to record them all. You must correct existing errors in the control budget and the source transaction and run the process again.

If the transactions have exceptions, you use the Transaction Exception component for the transaction type to review the exceptions, drill down to the source transactions, and with proper authority override the budget-checking errors.

Workflow Notification of Budget-Checking Results

You can set up workflow to notify you of budgets that have failed budget checking or received errors.
