Record Date, BFY, FY, Period Fields Inferred Upon Final Approval

When completing the Header section of an eMARS document you should refrain from entering any data in the following fields:
    -Record Date
    -Budget FY
    -Fiscal Year
    -Period

These fields will be inferred upon the final approval of the document.  Entering data in them before the document is submitted may result in unnecessary errors during the approval process.  At the end of the fiscal year, during Period 13, users may need to enter the Budget FY, Fiscal Year and the Period in order to reference Period 13.  Otherwise, always leave these fields blank and let the system infer the data for you.

NOTE:  Within the eMARS Travel Payment (TP) document there is a Record Date field located in the Travel Expenses section.  This date (in the Travel Expenses section) is required on the TP, but should not be confused with the Record Date field in the Header section of the document.  The field in the Header section should be left blank.
