The correct answer is option E - Documents and journals.

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, Budget control is used to control the consumption of budget funds. Budget control can be configured to monitor expenses against a budget, and can also enforce the use of encumbrance journals, which reserve budget funds in advance of actual expenditure.

To configure budget control for the remaining budget calculation including draft or unposted documents, you need to access the "Documents and journals" tab in the Budget control configuration form.

Follow these steps to access and configure the "Documents and journals" tab:

  1. Navigate to the "Budgeting" module in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance.
  2. Open the "Budget control configuration" form by navigating to Budgeting > Budget control > Budget control configurations.
  3. Select the appropriate budget control configuration record.
  4. Click on the "Documents and journals" tab.
  5. Scroll down to the "Remaining budget calculation" section.
  6. Select the "Include draft documents" and/or "Include unposted documents" checkboxes, as per your requirement.
  7. Click on the "Save" button to save the configuration changes.

By configuring the "Documents and journals" tab to include draft or unposted documents in the remaining budget calculation, you can accurately track and control budget expenditure, even when documents or journals have not been posted yet.
