How Do I Use Manual Commitments for Grants?

Manual commitments provide Principal Investigators and departmental administrators the ability to enter and recognize miscellaneous manual commitments. You can use manual commitments in Project Accounting to commit budget funds for miscellaneous expenses such as travel expenses, tuition expenses, or miscellaneous resource charges in advance of a requisition or an invoice. Manual commitments appear as commitments in reports and in the budget edit process. Manual commitments are not relieved by any particular expenditure, so you must delete or purge them once the actual expense goes through or the commitment expires.
