Budget and Encumbrance Balance Analysis
Access this report using Reports>Reconciliations>Budget and Encumbrance Balance Analysis. |
Use this report to check the budget and encumbered balances for all requisitions according to specific account codes (transaction information). This report supplements the Check Budget and Encumbrance Balances process, so you can verify the transaction lines being affected for the requisition, or it can also be used to review all requisition activity relative to your budget. (While creating and/or approving a requisition you can check the requisition against your budget using the Check Budget and Encumbrance Balances .)
With this report, you can print the amount of all requisitions (prior to being added to a purchase order) while viewing posted and unposted Encumbrances and Actual transactions through the report date range and comparing the sum of those items to the budget. The budget amounts are based on the Primary Budget Version selected by the Administrator using Organization>Set Up Modules>Budget>Budget Versions.
The account types and the segments that are included in this report were determined by the options selected by the Administrator using Organization>Set Up Modules>Budget>Primary Budget Controls. The only codes that display in the Available Columns are those that were defined on the Primary Budget Controls tab. Keep in mind that even though you may exclude certain segment columns in the report, the totals are calculated by all the segments specified on the Primary Budget Controls tab.
Note: If the Encumbrances module is not added for the active organization, the columns related to Encumbrances will not be available on this report.

Account Level Security is available for this report. This feature allows the Administrator to define the account codes and related amounts a user can view in the report. When account level security is activated by the Administrator for the organization (Security>Set Up Account Level Segments) and enabled for a user or group (Security>Set Up Account Level Security), the report will only print account information the user is allowed to see. Note that if a user does not have Account Level Security enabled, the user will see all account codes.
If the "Print Disclaimer on Report" check box is selected on the Security>Set Up Account Level Segments form, "This report may be affected by Account Level Security" prints in the header of this report. In that case, an * also prints after the report title.

- By selecting Available Items, the data is divided onto separate pages. The report starts a new page for each item, and the item is printed in the page header of the report.
- By selecting Available Columns, the data that appears in the body of the report is determined. Columns that use a period of Opening Balances Date through Ending Balances Date or Current Reporting Year Begins Date through Ending Balances Date, use the dates specified on the Setup tab of the report. However, if a column uses the Total Budget Ends Date, this date was assigned on the Options tab of the report.
