Budgetary control (or “funds checking”) functionality exists in both the Oracle Projects (PA) and Oracle Grants (GMS) eBusiness Suite applications. The purpose of the functionality is to provide an extra level of control over a project budget, preventing or warning users of overspends when or if they occur.

Thoughts on Budgetary Control in Oracle Projects and Oracle Grants
Friday, June 24th, 2011 by Andy CoatesFunds checking for Projects financial plan model not on current R12 roadmap
Thursday, October 28th, 2010 by Andy CoatesFollowing discussions during the October My Oracle Support Community (MOSC) Projects round table, Oracle product strategy stated that there are no current plans to re-introduce funds checking functionality for customers using the Projects financial plan model.
This will come as disappointing news to those customers who currently use funds checking and wish to migrate to financial plans, as well as those evaluating Oracle Projects who require strict control of expenditure as well as financial plan flexibility.
Product strategy added that the requirement for funds checking will be re-evaluated when defining the scope for post R12.2 releases.
