Use

If you have created cover pools and/or unilateral (sending or receiving, but not both) cover eligibility rules in Former Budgeting, you can migrate these to the Budget Control System.

Prerequisites

See Migration Considerations for the prerequisites that need to be fulfilled.

Procedure

In order to migrate your FB cover pools, call up the Funds Management Implementation Guide: Budget Control System (BCS) → BCS Budgeting → Migration of Former Budgeting to BCS → Migrate Cover Pools and Unilateral CE Rules .

Read the program documentation before you run the program, in particular in order to check whether all prerequisites have been fulfilled.

Select the FM area and fiscal year for which you want to migrate FB cover pools (automatic and/or manual) and/or CE unilateral rules.

If necessary, assign a default BCS budget memo template. You must assign one template for each role – sender, receiver, receiver as well as sender.

The migration will result in the creation of new cover groups in BCS. You must enter the FM area, the fiscal year and the cover pools to be migrated. The report only considers:

cover eligibility rules and cover pools related to expenditure commitment items

FB budget memo types 10 and 11 for cover pools

FB budget memo types 12 and 13 for unilateral CE rules.

Inactive FB cover eligibility rules and cover pools are ignored during the migration run.

Result

Your Former Budgeting cover pools and/or unilateral CE rules have been migrated to the Budget Control System.

See Cover Eligibility for further information on the cover eligibility functionality in the Budget Control System.
