Budget Reminder: Search for Unfinished Budget Journals

While entering budget journals in the Commitment Control module, you may be called away or your session may time out. The Budget Journal Entry page can be used to search for budget journals that are not fully processed.
You should perform this search on a routine basis to ensure that there are no budget journals waiting to be processed.
• When you do the search, change the Budget Header Status search parameter to “not =” and select “Posted” from the drop-down menu.
• If you determine that the journal is no longer needed, go to the Budget Lines tab of the journal. Select “Delete” from the Process drop-down menu. Then, press the Process button.
