The encumbrance in the F&A cost category of a budget (object code 25-99) should equal the difference between the budgeted amount and the expended amount, so that the budget balance in object code 25-99 equals zero.
Department reviews the F&A cost (category 25-99-00) budget balance in FIN driver action 5.
If the budget balance is not exactly zero, the department sends an email to the their Team in Grant & Contract Accounting requesting that the F&A cost encumbrance be adjusted.
Your GCA Team processes the encumbrance adjustment within two days; it appears in FIN driver action 5 on the following day.
