Budget Memo
Definition
Definition with which you can define for individual Funds Management account assignments (FM account assignment) as to which processes they can participate in the budget execution.
Use
You use budget memos in order to represent business transactions with revenues increasing the budget or with unilateral and reciprocal cover eligibility. The budget memo controls in which way budget changes are allowed for participating FM account assignments.
Structure
A budget memo consists of a budget memo type and descriptive texts. SAP provides various - non-changeable - budget memo types.
For every budget memo type you can create as many budget memos with varying texts as you like.
A budget memo is clearly identified by a key. You can define a short text, a description and a long text for every budget memo.
The following table lists the individual elements of a budget memo and their significance:

You define a budget memo when defining a cover pool as well as for individual FM account assignments within rule maintenance for revenues increasing the budget and for the unilateral cover eligibility. In doing so, you define in which process - revenues increasing the budget, unilateral or reciprocal cover eligibility - an FM account assignment may participate in.
