How do I clear a deficit on an award line?

A sponsored program award line is in deficit when the total allowable expenditures exceed the amount awarded for the project or the cash received. Award lines in deficit cannot be closed in Workday until the deficit is resolved.

To resolve a deficit, identify an allowable worktag that the deficit can be transferred to. Then create an Award Portal ticket using the topic “Deficit Transfer Request” to provide the worktag. GCA will then prepare the journal in Workday to transfer the deficit from the grant worktag and proceed with the closing process.
