Call Procedure

Purpose

You can use the call procedure to make available extra revenues (additional revenues) as extra expenditure budget for additional expenses. The additional revenue is collected in the revenues FM account assignment in which it is created and, when it is required, an expenditures FM account assignment will claim it from there.

If you are using the call procedure with revenues cover pools, the revenue cover pool groups together several revenues FM account assignments. For more information, see Call Procedure with Revenues Cover Pool .

Prerequisites

  • The required settings must be maintained in Funds Management Government Customizing.

  • Rules for the revenue FM account assignments must be maintained in the master data maintenance.

For more information on the settings in Customizing, refer to the Funds Management Government IMG in the sections Create budget memos and Activate automatic cover eligibility procedure .

Process Flow

  1. When posting a business transaction which assigns budget (for example, vendor invoice, request), the active availability control (AAC) checks if sufficient budget is available in the relevant FM account assignment.

  2. If this is not the case, the program checks if the expenditures FM account assignment is authorized to get budget from a revenues FM account assignment; it checks if the expenditures FM account assignment has been assigned to a revenues FM account assignment or a revenues cover pool in the rule maintenance for revenues increasing the budget.

  3. If such an assignment exists, the program checks if the assigned revenues FM account assignment has additional revenues at its disposal. If it does, the expenditures FM account assignment may claim the budget of the assigned revenues FM account assignment.

    No budget transfer takes place. A cross-assigned value is generated for the revenues FM account assignment from the posted amount. The amount is only noted in the expenditures FM account assignment for information purposes.

The following graphic summarizes the process flow again. In the graphic, it is assumed that the “Revenues/Central” revenues FM account assignment has been assigned to the “Expenditures/Central” account assignment in rule maintenance for revenues increasing the budget.

Result

You can display the current assignments that exist in the budget-issuing revenues FM account assignments and the budget-claiming expenditure FM account assignments in the information system in the Cross-assignments and Outside Usage report. In the Additional Revenues report, you also get an overview for each FM account assignment of the amount of additional revenues, the additional revenues that have already been assigned and the additional revenues still available.

You can cancel the cross assignments at any given time by shifting the budget from the revenues FM account assignments to the expenditures FM account assignments - in accordance with the cross assignments. For more information on this topic, see Resolve Cross Assignments .
