Troubleshooting Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110)

If you have no encumbrances when you review your commitments on the report output for Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110), or Commitment Detail Analysis (AC98.1) for Project Accounting commitments, or on Commitment Analysis (GL94.1) for General Ledger commitments, then use these troubleshooting tips:

Confirm that Resolution
The Activity Commitment field is set to Yes for system code GM on System Codes (GL01.4). If you create general ledger commitments, then the GL Commitments field must also be Yes. If it is not, then set the Commitment field (and optionally, GL Commitments field) to Yes on System Codes (GL01.4) and re-run Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110) in update mode.
The Salary Encumbrance field is set to Yes on the employee record (Grant Management (HR11.3)). If it is not, then set the Salary Encumbrance field to Yes on Grant Management (HR11.3) and re-run Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110) in update mode.
The Encumbrance Default field is set to Yes on the Labor Distribution Template Entry (GM10.2). If it is not, then set the Encumbrance Default field to Yes on Labor Distribution Template Entry (GM10.2), then re-run Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110) in update mode.
The template was approved (the Encumbrance Status field is 1 or 2 on GM10.2). If the Encumbrance Status field is blank, then ensure that the labor distribution lines on the template are approved on GM11.1 or GM115, then re-run Salary Encumbrance Processing (GM110) in update mode.
You specified a budget number in the Budget field on Commitment Analysis (GL94.1). (For General Ledger commitments.) If you did not, then you should specify a budget number in the Budget field and review Commitment Analysis (GL94.1) again.
The budget header's Commitment Budget field on Define Budget (FB20.2) is set to Yes. (For General Ledger commitments.) If it is not, then set the Commitment Budget field to Yes on Define Budget (FB20.2) and re-run GM110 in update mode.
The employee is assigned to a pay plan that has pay periods established for the same dates as covered by the templates. Labor Distribution Template Entry (GM10.2) will not let you add a template unless the pay plan assigned to the employee has pay periods established for the same dates as the template. In the rare case that the employee's pay plan is changed, and the new pay plan does not have the correct dates, you will have to edit the pay periods on the new pay plan or the template and re-run GM110.
