Manual Adjustments by Unit
Headquarters sent a "fix" to a problem I was having to balance the Other Account with the ending balance on the bank statement. In the process, they added money to the budget allowance column under "Manual Adjustments by Unit." I never made such an adjustment. Does anyone know what it means?

Just saw this appear in at least one of my units. It showed up in the view/edit budget screen. What really makes no sense to me is that it was a negative amount. Due to a CUBS transition bug, most of the units in my stake have an MLS balance in Other that is LESS than what UFS shows. In addition, some have MLS budget balances that are LESS than what UFS shows. For both of these, I would expect the adjustment to be a credit. Instead, it is debit. I'm going to have to investigate this further.khasay wrote:Headquarters sent a "fix" to a problem I was having to balance the Other Account with the ending balance on the bank statement.

Ok, I tracked it down. It appears this is linked to any transactions made in the Budget: Allocations category or any of its sub-categories. I've noticed it in a couple units, and it's been the same cause in both. The unit accidentally cuts a check from Budget: Allocations instead of the actual subcategory intended. Since this check decreases the actual allocation, the view/edit budget screen shows this by decreasing the total budget by the amount of the expense(s).
The fix was to recategorize the checks so they drew from a category other than Budget:Allocations. Simple fix, and made sense once I realized it.
To find the expenses causing the problem, run a detail budget report on Budget:Allocations. Include all its subcategories.
