A funds exception may be displayed on the RQ1 screen when a requisition is entered if adequate funds do not exist to cover the requested amount. If a funds exception occurs, the system will generate a FUNDS NOT AVAILABLE message.

When a funds exception occurs, you can handle it in one of the following ways:

• Eliminate the line
• Pass the line to the Budgetary Control Exception Queue (BCQ)
• Reduce the quantity ordered
• Put the line on hold and transfer the funds you need
