Obligation Authority Status (OBAS)

Obligation Authority Status (OBAS) records the obligation authority ceiling amounts by the program/program group for which these ceilings are established. It also provides the actual obligations against the ceiling and the remaining authority. The program/program group is identified by the obligation program code.

The obligation authority ceiling is input directly by the user, while the rest of the information is updated by the system. Lines are added to this table by the user, but the actual obligation fields are updated by the Project Participation (PZ) document.
