Purchase budget control

You can use budget control to check purchase transactions against available budgets.

For purchase requisitions, orders, and receipts, you can specify if, how, and when budget checks must be executed.

Note

To implement budget control, select the Budget Control check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

After the available budget is checked, budget transactions are generated in the Budget Transactions (tfbgc4500m000) session and budget balances are updated in the Budget Balances (tfbgc3500m000) session.

These budget transactions are generated:

  • Purchase requisitions
    Generates budget transactions of the Commitment type and updates the commitments budget balance.
  • Purchase orders
    Generates budget transactions of the Encumbrance type and updates the encumbrance budget balance.
  • Purchase receipts
    Generates budget transactions of the Receipt Expense type and updates the expense budget balance.

If a budget check fails, a budget exception is applicable that must be resolved before the relevant purchase procedure can continue.
