Budget vs Actual & Committed Inquiry

Dynamics GP does not include many inquiries and has no reports for reporting on PO Commitments. The one inquiry it does have is actually quite a useful one. The Budget vs Actual & Committed Inquiry allows committed (unreceived POs) and actual (received POs) to be compared against budget values.

To use the Budget vs Actual & Committed inquiry, perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Budget vs Actual & Committed Inquiry window in Dynamics GP by selecting Budget vs Actual & Committed from the Navigation Pane on the left, and then clicking on Assignment in the area page under Inquiry.
  2. Enter 100-6170-00 in the Account field.

  3. The Master 2017 budget will default into the Budget ID field.
  4. After selecting a period, clicking on the Actual column heading will launch the standard Detail Inquiry window. Click on the Committed heading to launch the Committed Detail Inquiry window, which shows details of the transaction and allows you to drill down to the Purchase Order Entry Zoom window.

When a PO is received, the committed value is removed and added to actuals, but the total does not change as the posted transaction is still counted against the budget. This means that a PO exceeding the commitment budget will still receive the warning message as the system compares against the total value of committed and actuals.
