Implementation Options

You can implement Budgetary Control and Encumbrance accounting together or independently depending on your organization's business requirements. This table lists the most important feature each one provides and you can choose depending on your requirement.

Requirement	Feature
Real-time spending control	Budgetary Control
General Ledger journals for requisitions and purchase orders	Encumbrance Accounting

Note:

If your requirement is budget and actual reporting using General Ledger, then you don't need Budgetary Control or Encumbrance Accounting. You just need General Ledger.
