The operating result corresponds to the surplus or deficit for the year. For the purposes of appropriation, it is combined with the previous result carried forward, excluding any outstanding commitments.
Outstanding commitments from the operating section at the end of the financial year correspond to expenditure that has not been mandated and has not been allocated, as well as certain revenue that has not given rise to the issue of a title and has not been allocated. They are carried forward to the budget for the following financial year.
