Life Multiyear funds

Encumbrances should not roll forward nor should carryforward BUA be created.

Why:

  • Life multiyear funds are set to carryforward if Budget has been posted. (if no budget has been posted then MUNIS goes by the multiyear settings in the Budget Settings program)

  • Ultimately, a Life multiyear fund that has budget (or has the roll set in Budget settings) will Carryforward the prior year available to the next year original budget.

  • If MUNIS also created a Carryforward BUA or brought forward the leftover encumbrances that would be including them twice in the current year. Ultimately overstating both the budget and encumbrances.

titleAdditional Information

What happens if there are left over encumbrances of any kind which end up staying in a prior year.

Answer: Those encumbrances will show in the appropriate year in Account inquiry such as prior year 1 as an example.

However, they will NOT show in the Life column in Account inquiry.

Why: 

The encumbrance amounts in the Life column of Account inquiry will ONLY show the current year encumbrances. Any encumbrances from the prior year will NOT display in this field or the detail. This is correct functionality so its important to clear all prior year encumbrances on Multiyear funds.
