Global Ledger Account Analysis 'Adm Clear Encumbrance'

abigail-mayes

Hi everyone,

Under global ledger account analysis there is an 'Adm Clear Encumbrance' option under Analyze Budget > Encumbrances > Encumbrance Line. 

Can anyone give some insight on exactly what function does? Does it simply delete encumbrances? How would this effect funds in the account?

Our organization was running into issues with "ghost" encumbrances. In GL Totals there would be an amount reflected in encumbrances but upon drill around all background data would equal zero. This caused transactions to be zeroed out on reporting and was also causing issues with budget enforcement. By running this report our ghost transactions would be cleared so we could resume normal processes.
