An over commitment is caused when an account’s expense exceeds the amount budgeted for a particular fund. Departments are responsible for analyzing and resolving their over commitments by submitting the proper documentation. There are some exceptions in which an account’s expense is covered by the university instead of by the department. It is very important that general fund over commitments are resolved in a timely manner because they can cause a University level over commitment. Please find below some guidance to assist you with analyzing and resolving your over commitments.
The Budget Office will monitor the budget override queue in uShop. If an override is needed the department must attach the Budget Override Request form to the uShop cart in the internal notes or comments section. If the department does not attach this form, the Budget Office will return the requisition without reviewing and ask the requestor to resubmit with form attached. If the override is based on a flex, then we must have the flex in hand before we will evaluate the request.
