<b>QCS_FA_FISCAL_ITEM_TYPE_BUDGET.</b> This query shows you FA Item Type budget balances. It is typical that Fiscal Item Type budgets are set to 9999999.99 to allow for ample spending on entitlement programs like Pell and WCG, but what you’re looking for
in these query results are <i>Offer Net</i>, <i>Paid </i>and <i>Unpaid Offers</i>. Looking at
<i>Unpaid Offers</i> will help you to determine what has been offered and what remains unpaid—does the award need to be disbursed, cancelled, or adjusted?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
