How to Correct Budget Check Errors

Purpose: This job aid is to help users correct the Budget Check errors that can occur after running the Finalize and Print Invoice process. The invoice will be printed if all required billing information is entered, however there may be cases where the Revenue accounting entries do not pass budget check. 

About Correct Budget Check Errors: The Correct Budget Check Errors page in the Billing module provides a way to update the accounting entries for an invoice that fails budget checking. Use this page to review and correct the accounting entries for the invoice. If you believe that the accounting entries are correct, please check with your fund accountant.

Role: The Billing Processor or Approver role is required to access this page.
