If the Auto Override setting is enabled for a source transaction, then the budget processor will process the transaction with a warning. Enter and Process Journal Entries PeopleSoft 9.2 includes a new field on the Installation Options - Overall page, Enforce Budgetary Only Edit. Select this option to enforce the budgetary only edit when you save a transaction. This enables edit of Budgetary Only ChartField values if there are multiple effective-dated values with different Budgetary Only values. Enter and Process Journal Entries The Check Only capability allows you to budget check transactions using what-if scenarios that do not actually commit the funds against any budget. This capability also provides pre-validation of the transaction data against budget definitions.

It would be preferable to see the related travel authorization on an expenditure report. –Pain Point: Some encumbrances are liquidated differently than how they were set up. Scenario: a PO may have been encumbered, then change ordered (change budget year) and then vouchered. The liquidation from the voucher went back against the original encumbrance year.
