Use this screen to calculate any over ceiling amounts for designated project/account combinations. This calculation considers both posted and unposted transactions and generates an exceptions report that details the transactions that have exceeded the ceiling amounts. After reviewing the report, you can either increase the budget ceiling amount, edit the project/account to a new combination, or set up a new revision and designate it as "Current."
This screen is used in connection with encumbrance tracking. For more information, please see Projects Special Topic PJ-16, "Encumbrance Tracking."

Select this check box to automatically set any over budget transactions with an over budget flag in the transaction entry screens. This flag is located in the header of the transaction screen and prevents the transaction from being posted. When you execute the Calculate Over Budget Transactions screen (Projects » Budgeting and ETC » Encumbrance Tracking), an exceptions report, detailing the over budget transactions, is printed. After increasing any budget ceilings or editing the project/account combination in the transaction screen, you can re-run the Calculate Over Budget Transactions screen to remove the flag. You can also remove the flag manually. Any transactions that are still marked as over budget will not post and will be moved to the next available period when the current period is closed. If you do not select this check box, an exceptions report is still printed and you can continue to edit the charge points. If you add the flag manually, there will be no automatic mechanism in place to prevent transactions that are still over budget from being posted. In summary, the exceptions report alerts you to the over budget transactions but the Over Budget flag prevents the transaction from being posted.
Select this check box to approve requisitions that have been released by the over budget calculation. This check box is enabled only if you have selected the Over Budget Validation check box in the Requisition Settings screen (Materials » Procurement Planning » Requisition Controls).
Use this group box, along with the Select Sorting Order group box, to control the order in which transactions will be sorted on the exceptions report and evaluated for over budget status. Six journals are available for sorting and evaluating: Cash Receipts, AP Vouchers, Journal Entries, Requisitions, Timesheets, and Travel Vouchers.

The Calculate Over Budget Transactions screen builds a common encumbrance table called Z_PJPOBT_RPT. The process uses amounts from PSR_PY_SUM and GL_POST_SUM, for prior and current year posted transactions, respectively, and the various unposted transaction edit files such as VCHR_HDR, JE_HDR, TVL_ADV_HDR, TVL_EXP_HDR, CO_EXP_HDR, TS_HDR, and RQ_HDR.
