Availability Check 

Definition

The availability check is an R/3-internal, active controlling validation which monitors budget allocations to see if the budget available has been exceeded.

Use

In HR Funds and Position Management, the availability check is performed automatically for all transactions where the budget of a budget structure element is allocated or changed.

In HR Funds and Position Management, persons or positions can be financed by the budgets of budget structure elements. The availability check prevents persons or positions from being financed by budget structure elements whose budgets are too small. During the check, the system converts all FTEs into monetary values.
