Viewing Future Commitments for budget variance

You can view future commitment records if you enable the Count Future Start Date Employees As Future Commitments field as a Position Budget Manager or Administrator.

By default, the Count Future Start Date Employees As Future Commitments field is disabled:

  • If disabled: The budget variance report for future commitments includes only transactions or records with a Future Effective Date.
  • If enabled: The budget variance report for future commitments includes transactions or records with Future Effective Date and Future Start Date.

Enabling and disabling the Count Future Start Date Employees As Future Commitments field does not control the ability to view future commitment records, but determines how records are counted in the budget variance report.
