You can inquire on exceptions by budget or by transaction:
Use the Budget Exceptions component to view budgets with exceptions.
This component enables user with security access to override specific budgets for a failed transaction.
Use the transaction exception components to view source transactions with budget exceptions.
These components enable users with security access to override specific budgets for a failed transaction, as well as all budgets for a failed transaction.
Note: An override is applicable only to the original entry. After the override, any change or additions to the original journal lines causes the system to cancel the override and reset the header status to (N) not checked. This is to prevent the adding of lines using the same overridden ChartField combination to create unauthorized overrides for different or larger amounts.
Separate exception pages for each type of source transaction are provided. These pages are documented in their respective application documentation. The following table provides a list of transaction exception components that are not covered in this topic and the corresponding documentation in which each is discussed:

Accounting date of the transaction line. You define which field the system uses for the budget date for the transaction in the source transaction definition. |
Exception |
Description of the error or warning exception. |
Exception Type |

Foreign Amount |
The amount of the line in the entry currency. |
Ledger Group |
Commitment Control ledger group for the transaction header exception or transaction line exception. |
Line From/Line Thru (line from and line through) |
To view a range of lines, enter the voucher line numbers in these fields. The prompt list shows only voucher lines with exceptions. |
Line Status |

Maximum Rows |
Select the maximum number of rows to display in the scroll area. |
Monetary Amount |

More Budgets Exist |
If selected, the transaction has more exceptions than the number you entered in the Maximum Rows field. |
More Lines Exist |
If selected, the transaction has more transaction line exceptions than the number you entered in the Maximum Rows field. |
Override Budget |
Select to update the control budget ledger, even though the transaction exceeds the budget. If Commitment Control Security is enabled, a user must be associated with a Super User rule in order to override at the budget level. If Commitment Control Security is not enabled and the impacted source transaction type allows overrides, then all users can override at the budget level. In both cases, if the transaction has been budget checked and has errors, the budget override option on the exception inquiry page is active only if all of the errors are overridable. Note: An override is applicable only to the original entry. After the override, any change or additions to the original journal lines causes the system to cancel the override and reset the header status to (N) not checked. This is to prevent the adding of lines using the same overridden ChartField combination to create unauthorized overrides for different or larger amounts. When a user overrides the budget, the system populates the Override User ID field with the user ID for the user who overrode budget checking and populates the Override Date field with the date and time the budget was overridden. |

The Business Unit and Ledger Group fields are required when entering search criteria on the Budget Exceptions search dialog page. The remaining fields can be left blank to return all values or you can enter values to further refine your search.
Click the Search button on the search dialog page and any exceptions are displayed in the Search Results scroll at the bottom of the search page. The scroll becomes available only if there are transaction exceptions for a budget. The scroll also returns both error and warning exceptions in the same search.
When you select a row from the Search Results scroll and no transaction exceptions are returned in the Transactions with Budget Exceptions group box at the bottom of the Commitment Control Budget Exceptions page, click the Advanced Transaction Criteria link to refine the criteria so that you can review the details of the exception. For example, if exception type and the from and to dates for the Commitment Control Budget Exceptions page do not match the exception type and dates of the exception you selected in the Search Results scroll, no transactions are returned in the Transactions with Budget Exceptions group box.

Advanced Transaction Criteria |
Click this link to access the Refine Inquiry Criteria page (Click the Advanced Budget Criteria link on a transaction exceptions (pages exist for various applications) header page for transaction exceptions) if you receive the message that no transaction rows were found given your criteria. In this case no information about the existing exceptions is initially returned in the Transactions with Budget Exceptions group box at the bottom of the Commitment Control Budget Exceptions page. Use this page to restrict or enlarge access to transaction rows by specifying exception type, transaction type, commitment control ID range, date range, and budget processor process instance. Note: You can leave most fields on the Refine Inquiry Criteria page blank to return all values but you must select errors or warnings to see that budget exception type. In addition, you must enter a value in the Date To field and the Date From field that is applicable to you inquiry. |
Exception Type |
If the exception type default to Warning in the initial search, you must change the value to Error to see errors, or to see results when the Transactions with Budget Exceptions group box does not become available after you select a transaction line in the Search Results scroll (that is to say, when the exception type value is defaulted to warning and the transaction is actually an error). |
Date From and Date To |
The Date To field defaults to the current date and the Date From field defaults to a date in the prior month, you must change the dates, if not applicable, to a range that encompasses the transaction exceptions on which you are inquiring or you receive the message that no transaction rows are returned because none match your criteria. |
ID Name and ID Value |
Transaction ID type, such as Requisition ID or Voucher ID. ID Value is the actual value of the identifier. Note: If the criteria you select using Advanced Transaction Criteria includes a transaction type, then the header key fields for the transactions appear instead of ID Name and ID Value.
