Grant Budget Line Exhausted Payment Delay Email Template

Use this page when the buyer says your invoice cannot be paid because the grant line, program budget, or funded allocation tied to the work has been exhausted. This is different from waiting on funder approval. The funding stream itself may already be approved, but the specific budget line allocated to your invoice no longer has enough room to release payment. Your email should ask whether a budget transfer, top-up, or reallocation is already being processed, whether the invoice can be split across another approved line, who owns the budget adjustment, and when the payable amount will be covered again. The outcome you want is to convert a generic 'no budget left' message into a concrete reallocation or escalation path. It is commercially strong because the supplier is dealing with a real cash block inside an already funded program and needs wording that challenges exhaustion without reopening the whole commercial relationship.
