Federal Obligation Ledger (FOBL)

Federal Obligation Ledger (FOBL) records the carryover and current apportionment amounts for each sponsor within a federal program. The window also provides the actual obligations against the program/sponsor and the resulting unobligated amounts. The current and carryover apportionment amounts are directly input by the user, while the rest of the information is updated by the system. The actual obligation fields are updated by the Project Participation (PZ) document.
