Requisition encumbrances are automatically relieved when requisitions become purchase orders.
Whether the system accrues expenses on receipt of goods or on processing of invoices, the system creates expense distribution lines from purchase order lines at the appropriate time and automatically relieves the purchase order encumbrance.
You can also relieve encumbrances manually in General Ledger. To do so, you must make an encumbrance entry.
You can relieve your encumbrance journal batches manually if your data access set provides read and write access to the ledger, or read and write access to all of the journal's balancing segment values or management segment values. See Data Access Sets.
