CARRYOVER_TYPE

Indexed - no
Format - char (1)
May be null? yes

The 1-character code indicating whether the carryover balance is an unliquidated obligation (O) or an unobligated balance (B).

An unliquidated obligation is a residual amount of authorized funding from a prior budget period that is reserved and carried forward from the SOURCE_FUND to the DESTINATION_FUND. It may be used solely for the payment of obligations (posted encumbrances) that were not liquidated at the close of the prior budget period but were encumbered during that budget period and remain unpaid at the time of the carry forward. This amount was reported to the sponsor in accordance with the sponsors reporting requirements. One example of an unliquidated obligation is the purchase order amount of items ordered before the end of a budget period but paid (liquidated) after the end of that budget period. Another example is the obligated balance of stipend or other trainee expense remaining at the end of a budget period.

An unobligated balance is a residual amount of unspent funds from the previous budget period of a sponsored project, which the sponsor has granted to be carried over and to be used in the current authorized budget period of the project. The balance is carried forward from the SOURCE_FUND to the DESTINATION_FUND.

Values:

B   unobligated balance 

O   unliquidated obligation
