Budget Checking issue with Purchase Cards when a transaction is a credit

Receiving an invalid Budget Check when re-allocating Purchase Card accounts if the transaction is a credit

• EERP

• Accounts Payable

• v2021.1 and above

Change in functionality 

1. If holding accounts are being used as the default account on the Purchase Cards, these accounts can be setup to not calculate budget (IE the budget check would be skipped on this default account during the update at the transaction level). This is setup within the Chart of Account Segments program. When reviewing the ORG code, the option ‘Calculate available budget’ can be updated to ‘None’, indicating that no budget check will be performed when this ORG is used. This is true for all programs, not just the PCARD statement program.

2. The PCARD liability account (referenced in Accounts Payable Settings) or another liability account specific to the PCARD process can be used as the Purchase Card default account on the card setup. Any account setup as a balance sheet will not perform a budget check.
