After a general budget reservation has been posted, it is relieved by one of the source documents that reference it.
Note
General budget reservations are available only if the Public Sector configuration key is selected and if Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 Cumulative Update 8 is installed with the following hotfix: KB3047235
There are three main ways to consume or relieve a general budget reservation:
Purchase order - Reference the general budget reservation directly on a purchase order line. The reservation is relieved, or consumed, when the purchase order is confirmed. No purchase agreement is involved. To do this, create a purchase order according to your usual process. This might also involve using a purchase requisition. When you add a line to the purchase order, select the general budget reservation to use for the purchase order.
Vendor invoice - Reference the general budget reservation directly on a vendor invoice. You can assign a purchase agreement on the header of the invoice, but no purchase order is involved. The reservation is relieved when the invoice is posted. To do this, create a vendor invoice according to your usual process. When you add a line to the invoice, select the general budget reservation to use for the invoice.
Purchase requisition – Reference a general budget reservation line in a purchase requisition. The reservation is relieved when funds are released from the requisition. To do this, specify the purchase requisition on the budget reservation line when you create the reservation.
Note
Purchase requisitions require workflow. For more information about creating a purchase requisition workflow, see Overview of a purchase requisition workflow. Also see Set up general budget reservation workflows (Public sector).
Note
You can also reference a general budget reservation on a purchase agreement.
After you post or confirm a document that references a general budget reservation, the budget reservation balance reflects the relieving amount. If you edit, cancel, or finalize the referencing document, the relieved amount shown is not reduced or removed; there is no way to return a relieved amount to the balance on the referencing document.
