System Response

Using Periodic Based Encumbrance Tracking (PBET):
The data volume will increase since there is a historical tracking for
each transaction within each document. A new line item is created for
every transaction to the document. Thus, planners should keep storage
capacity in mind since the data volume can increase dramatically,
especially if open items are created and changed on a frequent basis.
This should also be kept in mind for existing customers switching to
PBET.
Using Fiscal Year Based Encumbrance Tracking (FYBET):
Retains the most recent transaction on a document.
Does not record transactions occuring before the most recent
transaction.
