Defining Budget Checks

Budget Check Setup (BCS) is used to define the checking required for each account, or account/analysis code combination, that has a budget allocation. You set up a budget check to link actual ledger accounts to the budget ledger accounts that contain the budget allocation.

Budget checks are used to control both of the budget checking options: expenditure checking and commitment checking.

You can define budget checks to link actual and budget accounts in the different ways to control the budget at different levels.

If you are using purchasing invoices in Order Fulfilment, expenditure checking is performed in the same way as in ledger transactions. If you are also using purchase orders, you can choose to include the committed expenditure in the available funds calculation.
