Additional Budgetary Control Liquidation Validation
Enable the Additional Budgetary Control Liquidation Validation feature in the Enterprise Options region of the Manage Budgetary Control and Encumbrance Accounting page to fail budgetary control validation when the liquidation of a transaction doesn't impact the same control budget as originally reserved.
This feature when enabled will fail budgetary control validation with the funds status of Budget period doesn't exist in the control budget when the liquidation of the commitment or obligation impacts a different control budget than the original reservation. This option is automatically enabled for new customers. Upgrade users can chose if they want to enable this option. Once this feature is enabled, it can't be disabled.
The liquidation date is determined by the Default Date Rule setting on the Manage Budgetary Control page. The default date rule can be set to the system date, current transaction budget date, or prior related transaction budget date. This feature is only applicable when you have chosen system date or current transaction budget date for the default date rule. Prior related transaction budget date will use the same budget date as the original transaction.
