What happens to the budgetary control obligation on a PO when I match the PO to an invoice?

If you accrue at period end, when you validate the invoice:

  • The funds move from the obligation bucket to the expenditure bucket, so overall funds availability isn't impacted.

  • The matched amount and any additional variances on the invoice are reserved as an expenditure and reduce the available funds.

  • The PO funds status is updated to Liquidated or Partially Liquidated.
