Negative encumbrance will be shown in funds inquiry form; if any
of the following conditions are met,
When un-reserved amount > total encumbrance shown in funds
inquiry for that period in which the Un-reserve action is taken
Scenario: If a purchasing document is reserved
in one period and unreserved in different period by doing Cancel/Final
close/Un-reserve action without consuming the funds (receipt and invoice not
done), it will create negative encumbrance.
When received amount > total encumbrance shown in funds inquiry
for that period in which the receipt is done
Scenario: If a Purchase Order is reserved in one
period and received in another period, it will create a negative encumbrance
hitting the current period's budget even though the PO has consumed the
previous period's budget.
But this negative encumbrance does not increase the funds
availability as the encumbrance is getting converted to actual.
When billed amount > total encumbrance shown in funds inquiry for
that period in which the invoice is matched
Scenario: If a Purchase Order is set to accrue
at period end is reserved in one period and billed in another period without
performing receipt, it will create a negative encumbrance hitting
the current period's budget even though the PO has consumed the previous
period's budget .
But this negative encumbrance does not increase the funds
availability as the encumbrance is getting converted to actual.
When cancelled amount in Invoice > total encumbrance shown in
Funds Inquiry for that period in which the invoice is canceled
Scenario: If a non PO matched Invoice is
validated in one period and canceled in different period without consuming the
funds, it will create a negative encumbrance hitting the current period's
budget even though the PO has consumed the previous period's budget.
Note: Another scenario where negative
encumbrance can happen is,
For Purchase orders set to accrue at period end, encumbrance reversal
will get created at the time of generation of accrual entries by Receipt
Accruals Period end program. If this encumbrance reversal is not reversed and
posted in the period next to the one in which accrual is created and when
invoice is accounted in that next period, it will create a negative
encumbrance.
