As per standard functionality, purchasing
documents will fail funds check when 'Absolute' funds check level is used
if funds are insufficient. If you want to have override limit for reserving the
purchasing documents, override amount has to be specified under Budgetary
Control Group in GL – Budget – Define - Controls.
Enter or Query the budgetary control group.
Enter a Source and Category combination. Sources
identify the origin of journal entry transactions, such as Purchasing or
Payables. Categories describe the purpose of journal entries, such as purchase
requisitions or purchase orders. You can enter other to denote all sources
or categories other than those you explicitly define.
Enter either Tolerance percent or Tolerance
amount. If you are using Absolute budgetary control, it is advisable to enter
an Override Amount.
Note:
If General Ledger cannot find the budgetary
control rule for a source and category combination, it applies the default
budgetary control rule.
After creating the budgetary control group you
can assign it to users through “Budgetary control group” profile option.
To reserve the document using this override
amount, the profile option “PO:Override Funds Reservation” should
be set to Yes or the option “Use GL Override” available in document
approval form should be enabled manually. Otherwise this override authority
will not take into effect.
Now we will see a sample transaction of how
this functionality works.
The budget – 80551 DERAKANE have funds
available of only INR 484, 900 & we have set the override amount as INR
500, 000.
Raise a purchasing document by providing the
budget a/c, reserve & approve. The document value is INR 495, 100 (amount
higher than the funds available).
Without GL override functionality the document
would have failed funds check but now you will receive a message stating “Your
budgetary control action completed with warnings”. Click view results to find
out more details.
The excess amount (in this case INR 10, 200)
will be shown as negative funds available.
Thanks for such a knowledgeable post.
