Accounting Rules Categories - Encumbrance

Definition:

There are two types of encumbrance transactions. A purchase order encumbrance, which is recorded as 83XXXX, is increased when a purchase order is created and is decreased or reversed when an invoice is matched to the purchase order. An accounts payable encumbrance, which is recorded as 03XXXX, is increased when an invoice is entered and is decreased or reversed when an invoice is paid. The encumbrance accounting rules may be used to record adjustments and make corrections to the encumbrance accounts and the reserve for encumbrance accounts. Encumbrance transactions are entered through the Budgetary Control (BC) module using the encumbrance adjustment screens.
