43 Reconciliation Reconcile Expense and Budget ledgers For example TRST_EX_EX and STAT_RV_BD Pre-encumbrances and Encumbrances are like the open commitments from the old FBM No need to reconcile pre-encumbrances, because they move quickly to encumbrances. Give them a quick check to see if anything looks out of order. Encumbrances will probably move quickly to expense, so its good to verify you have the backup. Watch for encumbrances that have not moved to expense; there could be a problem. Recommendations
