Ways to correct the budget error messages:

  1. Reduce the amount of the obligation in the application where the commitment or encumbrance originated.
  2. Move the obligation to a different posting account in the subsystem where the commitment of encumbrance originated.
  3. Move the budgeted amounts to different posting accounts in the Budgeting application.
  4. For summary budget editing, you could redefine your budget edit group.
  5. Turn off the budget editing for the selected account.

    Because commitments and encumbrances can originate in many different Lawson applications and follow different paths, the process for correcting a budget error is not the same for each transaction. In this procedure you will learn how to correct a budget edit error for a journal entry.

    You must define a commitment budget before you edit budgets. To learn how to define a commitment budget, see the General Ledger Budgeting User Guide.

    Note: Depending on your business, turning off the budget editing for the selected account may not be desired.
