Over Expend Notes:
If changes are made to a reimbursement request (amounts are moved between object classes), the amount must be less than the over expenditure limit. Use the following calculation to find the over expenditure limit for an object class:
Over Expenditure limit = (Total Budget * (1 + Overexpend %)) less (Reimbursement + Pending Reimbursement)
Example: The Total Award for an object class is 5000, the Over Expend % is set to 10%, the Reimbursement amount is 400 and the Pending Reimbursement is 0.
The calculation is: 5100 = (5000 * (1 + 10%)) – (400 +0)
In this example, the Reimbursement Request cannot exceed 5100.
If any of the transaction's object class Reimbursement Requests are greater than the Over Expenditure limit, a budget revision is needed.
