FF.006.2 Review Budgets - VC13 (Project Archive)

User Acceptance Test Overview

For day to day budget maintenance/review, the Commitment Control module provides various inquiry tools that you can use in order to help you accurately assess your KK ledger balances. The Budget Overview, Budget Details, and Activity Log inquiries all provide different means to review transactional activity in either a detailed or summarized manner. [Note: The PeopleSoft abbreviation for Commitment Control is 'KK']

Once budget check is done on source transaction like requisition, purchase order, voucher etc., the Information posts to the Commitment Control as soon as a transaction has achieved a valid budget check. Inevitably, Some transactions do not pass the budget- checking process and the system identifies them as exceptions. You can review budget exception. You can receive those exceptions depends upon budgetary control in commitment control. You can Review Alerts for Control Budget for any exceptions and early warning alert for percentage consumed. You should have correct security notification preferences security setup.

The Budgets Overview component provides everything from summarized amounts by ledger group through drill down to individual budget lines and source transactions. The Budget Details component provides routes to much of the same information that you can view using the Budgets Overview, but for a single control budget. The Activity Log component displays transaction line details and budget information for budget checked transactions.

Sometime you may Override Budget Exception if you have given access to override exception. Only some exceptions can be overridden. You should also have correct commitment control security setup to Bypass Budget Check for GL Journal and Override Budget Data in Source Transaction.
