If the amounts with Journal Description CONT ROLL make up the difference compared to Next Year Budget Entry this is the reason why the amounts are different

Additional Information

The Contract Roll process creates carryforward encumbrance entries for next year and prepares BUA journals to offset that encumbrance amount in the new year, these offsetting entries are generated and posted during the YEC process. Since there is a period of time where the BUA's are prepared for generation but not reflected in Enterprise ERP, the Post to Master for Reports process includes these amounts as they are set to be generated but not yet visible in the system- this effectively offsets the NY Encumbrance that generates during the contract roll process.Â
