No Budget Exists

What this means: No budget exists in the cost center in the appropriate budget node. This type of error is not overridable.

What to do: Often times the department may have budget in the cost center but not in the correct node (i.e. B5009 M&O has budget; B5008 CAPITAL does not) or may have fund equity in the cost center but not budgeted to spend. When either is the case, the following options are available:

1. a zero dollar budget can be established by the Budget Office. The transaction will then be overridden and a budget transfer will be processed within the current month
   
   
2. the department can send an email to the Budget Office requesting approval to the budget fund equity

If the request is approved, a zero dollar budget can be established by the Budget Office and the transaction will then be overridden and a budget transfer will be processed. Exceeds Budget

What this means: Not enough budget exists in the cost center in the appropriate budget node. This type of error is overridable.

What to do: (See above options) Project/Grant Errors

In addition to the errors listed above, Project/Grant cost centers can have other budget checking roadblocks such as budget status beginning and end dates.

What to do: Regardless of the type of error, the department will have to resolve the issue through the Grant Accounting X8602.
