Budget Period Status Options

Close pending Fail for:
  • Budget imported with initial budget as the budget entry classification
  • All subledger transactions enabled for budgetary control except for the final close action on a purchase order
Budget period not open for control budget
Pass for:
  • Budget imported with budget revision as the budget entry classification
  • General Ledger and subledger journal entries
  • Final close action on a purchase order including:
    • Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances process
    • Manual final close action on a purchase order
N/A
Closed Fail Budget period closed for control budget
Permanently closed Fail Budget period not open for control budget
Note: The close pending status can be used to limit budgetary control validation of General Ledger and subledger journal entries only while completing month-end or year-end close tasks. This prevents consumption of a control budget’s funds available balance by subledger transactions and prevents changes to a control budget’s initial budget amount.
