Expenditure is locked
Message code ExpenditureFrozen
What happened
Expenditure lines, programme items and the programme structure are read-only for this year.
Why
Either the budget has been submitted, or the Budget Office has frozen the MDA (for example while a query is open). The lock applies before any ceiling check, so a frozen MDA always sees this message.
What to do next
- If the budget is submitted and you have the GOE Admin role, retract the submission from the cycle hub, make the change, and submit again.
- If the MDA is frozen, the hub shows the reason; contact the Budget Office to unfreeze it.
