How do commitments and budget edits affect purchase orders?

If you have activities commitments, general ledger commitments, or budget edits set up, one of the following will occur when commitments are exceeded:

  • when you create a purchase order, a warning will appear, or

  • when you attempt to release a purchase order, processing will halt.

For information about general ledger commitments and encumbrances, see the General Ledger User Guide. For information on activities commitments, see the Project Accounting User Guide. For information on budget edits, see the General Ledger Budgeting User Guide.
