Budget Overrides

Various override attributes can affect a budget-checked transaction:

  • Only authorized users can perform transaction and budget overrides.

  • Multiple super users can override different budgets for the same transaction.

  • A super user need only override a budget for a particular transaction once, unless that transaction changes after the override.

  • A user can perform an online remote call to the Commitment Control Budget Processor process.

    This process budget checks the transactions that the user selected. Transaction lines with overridden budgets receive a warning for every budget that was exceeded. The system refreshes the budget and transaction exception pages to reflect these changes.

The actual process of overriding a budget just requires selecting a check box on the appropriate page. A super user can access either the Budget Exceptions page or the Transaction Exception page to override specific budgets or transactions.
