Releasing a budget journal entry

After you review unreleased budget journal entries and make necessary changes, you can release the entries. When you release a budget journal entry, the status changes to Released. This makes the budget journal entry transaction lines available for posting. Use this procedure to release budget journal entries.

A budget journal entry must be in balance and, for a company that uses control totals, must have matching control and system amounts before you release it.
