What is Commitment Control (KK)?
p.5
In PeopleSoft, budget monitoring is done in the Commitment Control (KK) module.
Commitment Control enables you to control or track expenditures to predefined, authorized budgets.
Commitment Control enables you to:
Create and maintain control budgets for either Expense Budgets (KK_Detail) or Revenue Budgets (KK_Revenue).
Check actual transactions (such as actual expenditures and revenues) against control budgets.
Check imminent future financial obligations (pre-encumbrances and encumbrances) against control budgets.
ALL transactions look at the Commitment Control when budget checking.
Ledger Groups
• KK Detail = Expense Budgets
• KK Revenue = Revenue Budgets
Control vs Track Spending
• Control Spending: High maintenance;
does not allow budgets to go negative.
• Track Spending: Allows budgets to go negative for all transactions
Budget Entry Types
•Original = Adopted Budget
•Adjustment = Adjustment to adopted budget
•Transfer Original = Transfer of original budget
•Transfer Adjustment = Transfer of adjusted budget amounts
•NOTE: Transfers must balance.
