Encumbrance

Encumbrances is mostly used to differencate between inital funding and additional funding added later on. As an example, there is 1 million in funding for a project and later there is an intermediate project added or a large change order that may require additional funding. Encumbrances allows the amount to be shown as separate from the inital contract amount and shown as added at a later date.

Add an Encumbrance Record:

1. While under the ‘Contract Menu’ select the ‘Encumbrance’ tab.

2. Select the ‘Add’ button in the Encumbrance table then enter the funding data.

3. Click ‘Save’.
