GM-GTE Master Data Customizing: General Settings 

Purpose

To make the following settings, go to the Implementation Guide (IMG) and choose Public Sector Management ® Grants Management ® Grantee Management ® Master Data ® General Settings. You need not make all the settings and it does not matter in which order you do them.

Process Flow

·        Maintain Grant Responsibilities

Enter a number and descriptive text for each responsibility you want to use for your grant processing, such as:

¡        Principal Investigator

¡        Co-investigator

¡        Grant Manager

¡        Grant Analyst

If needed, you can enter Workflow settings for each responsibility type.

·        Maintain Award Types

The award type is an optional entry in the grant master. To use it, you need to maintain award types in customizing. Examples of award types might include NEW, RENEWAL, COMPETITIVE, and NON-COMPETITIVE.

·        Maintain Legislative District Codes

Certain sponsored activities may be tied to a particular legislative district. Where this is the case, you need to indicate which district, by means of codes you enter here.

Use of this data element is optional. It can be suppressed if not required.

·        Maintain Payment Rules

Use this step to enter payment rules for outoing grants in passthrough funding.

·        Maintain Letters of Credit

The sponsor’s funds may be received by means of a letter of credit (LOC) account. This is issued by a bank and guarantees payment to the grantee organization, based on the terms and conditions of the sponsor award.

The LOC data element can be used to generate invoices (that is, accounting entries) if desired.

Use of this data element is optional. It can be suppressed if not required.
