About releasing a budget journal entry

After you enter budget journal entries and make necessary corrections, you must release budget journal entries before you can post them.

Before release

A budget journal entry must meet these criteria before you can release it:

  • The budget journal entry must be in balance.

  • For a company that uses control totals, the budget journal entry must also have matching control and budget journal entry totals.

Results of release

Releasing a budget journal entry:

  • Changes the budget journal entry status to Released

  • Makes the budget journal entry transaction lines available for posting

  • If you set the budget to perform budget editing, and also set it for Budget Edits on Release, then budget editing occurs.
