Budget Transfer Checks
In the United Arab Emirates, specific rules are applied to budget transfers. When you post a budget entry document in the Budgeting Workbench
(transaction FMBB
or FMBCC
) using the Transfer
process, the system performs consistency checks to verify that these AE-specific rules are adhered to.
You implement the required rules using Business Framework Plus (BRFplus). For more information, see Extended Budget Rules.
The following rules apply to the budget transfer direction:
The same source cannot be used as a target in another budget transfer in the same fiscal year.
The same target cannot be used as a source in another budget transfer in the same fiscal year.
Note that the source or target of a budget transfer is always a unique combination of commitment item, program, and subprogram.
The following rules apply to the budget transfer amount:
For subprograms (that is, functional areas), the budget transfer amount must not exceed a specific limit (for example, AED 2,000,000) or the amount that is calculated based on budget data from the current year, whichever amount is lowest.
For programs (that is, functional area groups), the budget transfer amount must not exceed a specific limit (for example, AED 5,000,000) or the amount that is calculated based on budget data from the current year, whichever amount is lowest.
