Do not spend above your funding level.

Appropriation(s). Funding enacted into law by Congress each year. Various appropriations are listed in the Defense Finance and Accounting Indianapolis Service Center Manual, 37-100-FY and stipulate the purpose of appropriation. When dealing with various funds, consult the supporting resource manager to ensure funds are expended for their intended purpose. Spending one appropriation to cover another appropriation's purpose is not permitted.

Authorization. A law passed or enacted by Congress that allows or authorizes something (for example, a construction project or a number of weapon systems for the military). However, without an appropriation, the goods, services, or project cannot be acquired. Both an authorization and appropriation act must be passed in order to expend funds.
