How To Create An Encumbering Internal Transaction (EI)In some instances, an accountant may choose to set aside (encumber) money for future purchases. Thismoney can be encumbered through requisitions or Encumbered Internal Transactions. When a purchaseis made against an account, the encumbrance is reduced (liquidated) and the expenditures are increased.For example: An account historically spends $1000 a year in object code 4250 on paper. The accountantwould like to set aside (encumber) this $1000 to reflect this anticipated expenditure. Whena purchase of $100 is made for paper, the encumbrance is reduced and the expenditures areincreased.Encumbrance ExpendituresBefore paper purchase 1000.00 0.00After paper purchase 900.00 100.00Encumbrances must be created with unique account number, object code, and encumbrance type numbercombination. Encumbrances must be referenced with this combination at the time of purchase in order forthe encumbrance to be reduced (liquidated).1. Start at the GLS Menu.
