Q:  I have a charge listed on my Budget Query that, in spite of my best efforts, I can’t identify.  How do I better identify it?
A:  If it is a grant, call your grant accountant.  If it is not call Alan Feldmayer.

Q:  My budget query shows that I’ve run out of budget in an account because of the large amount of encumberances.  This doesn’t seem right because I shouldn’t have any more open purchase orders out there.  What do I do?
A:  Contact the accounts payable team.
