2 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


Introduction
At the end of the budget cycle, surplus funds and open transactions are reviewed to determine if they will be
carried forward to the next budget cycle. The regulations for handling the obligated or surplus funds vary by
jurisdiction. For example, surplus funds could lapse or be carried forward for consumption in the next budget.
Transactions that have obligated funds but not yet invoiced could be carried forward, canceled, or the books
could be left open until the expected invoice is received.

This document discusses the end of the budget cycle and how to process surplus funds and open transactions.

The process consists of 4 main steps to determine:

» Accounts and transactions that should not be carried forward


» Surplus funds to carry forward
» Transactions to carry forward
» Reporting and inquiry.

3 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


Accounts and Transactions That Should Not Be Carried Forward
Determine the accounts and transactions that are holding funds that should not be carried forward to the next budget cycle.
Return the funds that are held for these transactions to the surplus (funds available) by canceling or final closing the purchase
order.

Requisitions

Commitment balances are not carried forward automatically. Any open requisition should be canceled or converted to a
purchase order.

Suggested Cleanup Actions on Purchase Orders

Purchase orders that are canceled, closed, closed for invoicing, closed for receiving, or finally closed can still hold an
obligation balance if the quantity delivered is greater or less than the quantity billed, depending on how the receipt is accrued.

Surplus Funds to Carry Forward
If your organization allows surplus funds to be carried forward to the next budget cycle, determine which control budget
accounts have surplus balances (funds available). To ensure the funds available balance is accurate, confirm the following.

» Commitment balance is zero, and requisitions have either been canceled or converted to purchase orders.
» Obligation balance is the amount to be carried forward. Purchase orders that are not going to be carried forward have been
processed to reverse obligations and increase funds available.

» Obligation balances from manual encumbrance journal entries have been reviewed.

For the specific budget year and control budget, review the funds available balance for each account. A sample of the Funds
Available Balance report is available on Customer Connect. You can copy and modify the sample report, or create your own.

The Funds Available Balance report shows the balances by control budget account.

The following layout is available:

» Funds available for a specific control budget and budget year

Figure 6: Budget Account Balance by Budget Period

Automated Surplus Funds Carry Forward

8 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


To carry forward surplus funds to the next budget year as budget amounts, use the automated Carry Forward Funds Available
Balances process from the Budgetary Control Dashboard. The Carry Forward Funds Available process is available for non-
project control budgets. This process will import as budget amounts the funds available balance from a source control budget
period to a target control budget period you select. Funds available isn’t reduced in the source control budget.

The source and target control budgets can be the same. If they are different, the target control budget must meet the following
criteria:

» Budget chart of accounts must be the same for both the source and target control budgets.
» Interval for the target control budget’s calendar must be the same or greater than the source control budget.
» For example, if the source control budget has quarters as the period interval, then the target control budget can only
have periods with intervals equal to or greater than quarters. The target control budget can’t have monthly periods.
» If hierarchies or trees are assigned to segments of the source control budget, then the same segment on the target control
budget must also be assigned a hierarchy, and must be tracked at the same or higher level.

The following table lists the process parameters:

Parameter Description

From Control Budget Carries forward surplus funds available from this control budget

From Budget Period Carries forward surplus funds available from this budget period of the control budget.

Balance Surplus funds available for the budget period is calculated with this balance type.

Target Control Budget Surplus funds available are carried forward to this control budget.

Target Budget Period Surplus funds available are carried forward to this budget period of the target control budget

Budget Account Filter Surplus funds available are carried forward to the budget accounts that match the filter conditions selected

NOTE: If the source budget of the target control budget is the source for multiple control budgets, then the import process will import the amounts
to all the control budgets that use that same source budget (assuming the budget period matches all the control budgets).

Figure 7: Carry Forward Funds Available: Process Parameters

Budget Import Results

The budget Import, Budget Import Results Report and Budget Import Analysis Report are run automatically. Budget entries
are imported in the target budget period either as initial budget, if the budget period status is Available for Budgeting or budget
adjustments, if the budget period status is Open.

Use the Budget Import Results Report, the Budget Import Analysis Report or the Review Budget Entries page from the
Budgetary Control Dashboard to verify the budget amounts carried forward. The budget accounts and amounts can also be
verified from the Review Budgetary Control Balances page or the Funds Available Report.

12 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


Purchase Order Obligations
Purchase order obligation balances can be moved from one budget to another by changing the budget date of the purchase
order distribution.

Complete your reporting for obligation balances before this step if your year-end reports must reflect the obligation balance
before it is carried forward. After you run the Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances process, the
obligation balance in the prior budget year will be zeroed out if the Default Date Rule setting isn’t set to system date.

Ensure that all invoices are accounted. For example, if you finally close and subsequently reopen a PO matched to an invoice before the invoice
is accounted, you will receive an error when Payables attempts to create accounting for the invoice.

Low Volume (Fine Control) Purchase Order Carry Forward

If your open purchase order volume is low, or you need to review every purchase order individually, you must do one of the
following:

» Final close and reopen the purchase order manually at the time of shipment.
» Split the distribution lines to move balances to a specific budget date.
» Use this method if the criteria for carry forward varies greatly across purchase orders.

To carry forward the budget for these purchase orders, use the Enter Budgets in Spreadsheet or Budgetary Control Budget
Import FBDI process.

Automated Purchase Order Carry Forward

For the purchase orders that don’t require individual review and manual action, use the automated carry forward process from
the Budgetary Control Dashboard.

The Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances process automates the following tasks:

» Final closes purchase orders for a specific ledger and reopens them with a new budget date.
» Final closes and reopens the uninvoiced amount when accrue on receipt is set to no or the undelivered amount when
accrue on receipt is set to yes.

» Budget period must be open for both the final close and reopen budget dates.

» Optionally carries forward budget for the purchase order balance.


» Lists carry forward purchase orders and budget details.

Table 2: Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances with Accrue at Receipt

The Carry Forward Purchase Orders for Budgetary Control Balances program considers the purchase orders with the
following criteria:

15 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


» Budget date of all distributions for a shipment is before the Finally Close Through Budget Date value, and is not fully billed
when accrue on receipt is set to no or not fully delivered when accrue on receipt is set to yes.
» Any purchase orders with the following criteria won’t be automatically finally closed:
» At least one distribution’s budget date is after the Finally Close Through Budget Date value.
» At least one distribution’s PO charge account doesn’t match the PO Charge Account Filter value.
» Final close or reopen doesn’t have any impact on budgetary control.
» A sponsored project control budget is impacted (balances can only be carried forward for non-sponsored project
control budgets)

 Sponsored projects are projects with an associated award.

 Non-sponsored projects are projects that don’t have an award associated to the project.

The PO Charge Account Filter allows you to manage the budget options differently for groupings of purchase orders by
specifying conditions on any of the accounting flexfield segments.

Important Considerations

The movement of the obligation to the Reopen Budget Date

» increases funds available in the carry forward from year because the obligation balance is decreased for the finally closed
budget date. If you want to keep the funds available unchanged in the carry forward from year, select this option so that the
budget balance is decreased for the finally close through budget date.

» doesn’t validate that there are sufficient funds available in the carry forward to year. If you don’t include budget for the carry
forward obligation for the reopen budget date, the purchase orders that were carried forward will consume funds from the
current budget balance for that period.

16 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


The carry forward amount, which is the uninvoiced amount or the undelivered amount, is determined as of the time the Carry
Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances program is submitted, not as of the finally close through budget date.
To ensure the balances are carried forward properly, it is important to

» run the program as close to year end as possible.


» not open the periods in the new year for payables until after the process is completed when using period end accrual and
the default date rule setting as current transaction budget date or system date.

Projects Control Budgets
The budget balances for Projects control budgets are maintained in Projects Portfolio Management and synchronized to
budgetary control using the baseline process.

Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances process does not automatically update the budget balances for
non-sponsored projects as the budget change must originate from the projects budgets.

Expenditure Item date is maintained during the Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances process, only the
budget date on the purchase order distribution is updated by the process.

Accounting

Encumbrance Accounting

When encumbrance accounting is enabled, you must also run the Create Accounting process after the Carry Forward
Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances process completes. This process creates the encumbrance journals in general
ledger moving the purchase order balances to the new period.

Figure 20: Journal Entries to Carry Forward Purchase Orders: Final Close and Reopen Finally Close

Period End Accrual

The Period End Accrual process generates subledger accounting entries to accrue expenses for uninvoiced receipts at end of
period for reporting purposes. The accrual entries are reversed at the beginning of the next period. The following scenario
requires some special handling and only applies if all three criteria are met:

» You use period end accrual and have Budgetary Control enabled for the period end accrual journal entries.
» You are carrying forward purchase order obligations in Budgetary Control to a new year,
» You have purchase orders that you are carrying forward where the quantity delivered is greater than the quantity billed. (If
all of the purchase orders that you are carrying forward have quantity delivered equal to or less than quantity billed, and
there is nothing to accrue, then the following steps do not apply.)

For more instructions on the special handling needed for this scenario refer to the Period End Accrual section of the
Budgetary Control and Encumbrance Accounting Implementation Guide.

Other Obligation Balances Single Accounting Year Control Budgets

Obligation amounts can originate from manual encumbrance journal entries in the general ledger with the encumbrance type
of Obligation. There could also be obligation amounts not carried forward depending on the accrual method and also if the
quantity delivered is greater or less than the quantity billed. Run the Trial Balance Report for the encumbrance balance type to
review if there is a remaining obligation balance.

23 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


To keep the budgetary control and accounting balances synchronized for control budgets with periods that span one
accounting year or less, create a journal entry to move the desired account balance to the new period.

24 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


1. Run the Trial Balance Report.

Figure 21: Trial Balance Report: Process Details

Figure 22: Trial Balance Report

25 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


2. Create the manual journal entry to carry forward the balances.

Figure 23: Manual Journal Entry to Carry Forward the Balance


3. Verify the amounts in reports or Review Budgetary Control Balances page from the Budgetary Control Dashboard.

Other Obligation Balances Cross Accounting Year Control Budgets

The encumbrance balances for income statement accounts are reset to zero in the general ledger when the next accounting
year begins. When all control budgets have periods that span more than one accounting year, to keep the accounting and
budgetary control balances synchronized, run the Encumbrance Year-End Carry Forward task on the Budget Manager
Dashboard. This process only moves the accounting balances and has no effect on the budgetary control balances. When
some control budgets have periods that span one accounting year or less and some control budgets have periods that span
more than one accounting year, special consideration will need to be made to make sure the accounting and budgetary
control balances are synchronized for all control budgets.

27 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD
Reporting and Inquiry
After the carry forward process, you can verify the impact on transactions and balances, and report on how the carried
forward funds are expended. You can also review the carry forward actions using the document history of the purchase order.

Example

Purchase order 89 was carried forward from 2015 to 2016 affecting control budgets VCity FY 2015 and VCity FY 2016
respectively. The budget date on the purchase order will be the carry forward date. For PO 89, this date is 1/1/16.
The document history is as follows:

Figure 24: Document History of a Purchase Order

Use the Budgetary Control Analysis report to review the three new transaction actions for the carry forward:

» Carry forward final close purchase order

» Reverses the obligation from the prior period

» Carry forward reopen purchase order


» Reinstates the obligation into the new period

» Carry forward budget adjustment


» Carries forward the budget for the corresponding obligation

Budget Consumption of Carried Forward Transactions
If you didn’t include budget for the carried forward transactions, the transaction will consume funds available from your new
budget. You can increase the funds in the new budgets through reversals and cancellation of the carried forward transactions.

For the liquidation of carried forward transactions, the application will use one of the following dates depending on the Default
Date Rule setting for the business unit:

» Prior related transaction budget date (which for carried forward transactions has changed to the new budget date)
» Current transaction budget date
» System date

Conclusion
At the end of the budget cycle, determine how to process surplus funds and open transactions. Review open transactions and
determine which action is required based on the legal or management policies. Change the budget date for open purchase
orders manually or use the automated process to move multiple open purchase orders to a new budget date.

Appendix A: Case Studies Year End Processing

The City of Sunshine

The City of Sunshine is in North America and has 1 year budgets with budget year from Jul-1 to June-30. Spending is budgetary controlled at the project and the general
ledger account level.

Budget ordinance allows for some purchase order obligation and the equivalent budget amounts to be carried forward into the next year. Surplus funds are cannot be carried
forward to the new year.

At year end the following business processes occur that impact the budget and funds available balances.

» requisitions are cancelled


» purchase receipts that are not invoiced are accrued

» purchase orders that do not meet the budget ordinance for continuation into the next year are cancelled

Since purchasing and payables invoicing processes are centralized however receipt entry is decentralized, the finance department includes cross subject area experts in the
year end planning.

Preparing for Purchase Order Carryforward

In order to prepare for the PO Carryforward Process, City of Sunshine begins planning the year end close process and identifies the key participants in the process and the
steps performed. From April 1 to April 30, the Year-End Close committee meets to discuss deadlines and begin the planning process. The committee consists of:

» Savannah (General Accounting Manager)


» Sally (Budget Manager)

» Brett (Purchasing Manager)

» Mike (Accounts Payable Manager)


» Key Subject Matter Experts

Three key phases are identified in the process:

» Preparation stage: Stage where key tasks will be performed to get ready for the Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances process (60 + days prior
to fiscal year end).

» Process stage: Stage where key processes (Create Uninvoiced Receipt Accrual and Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances) are run (first 1-2
days after fiscal start date).

31 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


» Completion stage: Stage where any remaining tasks after successfully running the Carry Forward Purchase Order Budgetary Control Balances process are completed
(1 + days after process is run).

32 | BUDGETARY CONTROL CARRY FORWARD


Key tasks by participant by stage are identified below:
